I’m thomas, I’m 25 & I’ve been keeping freshwater for years. (Live, all natural tanks for schooling fish to cichlids) Decided to start my adventure with a 5 gallon pico.
So far, all is going smooth in the establishing phase. I’ve got 2 hermits, and a small baby emerald who I noticed was having his legs ripped off at a local petco by his own kind (way too many in the small display, go figure). I call him stumpy.
About 2 months in now (date established 6/12/21) and she’s passed the ugly diatom phase.
noticing a nice culture of copepods all over the glass. Hoping to stock a small fish before looking towards corals. Any ideas?
Also any recommendations for a low power wave maker?
