Hello everyone! New SCAPE member here.
I have kept a lot of saltwater/nano reef tanks in the past, but I'm very green (pun intended) when it comes to planted tanks.
I actually wanted to start a betta tank as a cool project to work on with my young son, so I bought a 5 gallon tank from Tong's with very basic equipment for that purpose. Turns out my son has zero interest in bettas (said they are too mean) and wanted guppies instead. So despite already having set-up the betta tank with almost no plants, I started to convert it into a very basic planted tank to house endler guppies. While researching planted tanks and endlers, I came across SCAPE. I'm learning a lot through this forum, and I hope to go to SCAPE events with my son to learn more and meet other fw tank enthusiasts.
Here's my basic (very low-tech) set-up. This is the only tank that I have at the moment. My son is totally into it, so it's been a great experience so far.
My son insisted on getting a blue fish, so it houses Japan Blue Endlers shipped from LiveFins in Florida.
Hoping to eventually add some kind of plant/moss for the Endler fry and also a few Painted Fire Red Cherry Shrimp. Looking forward to seeing you at the meetings!
