I am working on starting a 70 gallon tank. measurements are 36 inches by 24 inches by 18 inches. It is only my second tank which is a bit scary but i am planning on taking it really slow so hopefully it works out. I have a few questions to ask
1. Currently the only lock for pets are some neocaridina shrimp or maybe caridina. What would be some good tankmates?
2. How much filtration would be required for a tank like this
3. I would like to add some sort of snail. What kind of slow breeding options are available that wouldnt take over the tank like a ramshorn would do.
4. Another option for snail could be to try to get a steady population of a pest snail and keep a few assasin snails as well, but I feel like this could be hard for keep a balanced population without too much supplementation.
5. Would any crab species by Viable?
6. I would like to have a school of small fishes, what would be a good option?
7. are there any easy to grow carpeting plants that stay pretty short? ive tried dwarf hairgrass and have never had success keeping it alive.
8. Could I potentially have a plant that is above the water with roots in the water?
9. Best way to have a population of microfauna in the tank?
10. Best way to minimize amount of water changes?
thanks for any help
