Question about plants in aquarium
Hi! I am new here and I have a question.
I am not new to fish; I've had them all my life. I have decided to go with a small tank this time round, and I only have a 5g. I have had it running for the past 2 months with just a baby blue mystery snail. I plan on getting a betta for it, but I might change my mind and get some endlers and corys instead. I would like to plant it with live plants though, but not really sure how to go about it. I have seen the aquascaping, and I would love to try that but I know it will be a little difficult in such a small tank. I have watched on how to plant one (from this site), but I am unsure what plants I can use that will not overrun the tank. Do I have to get the bulbs, do the fertilizing, all that jazz? Right now the tank is at a consistent temp, it gets mainly sunlight and regular bulb light, it is fully cycled...I like the amazon plants but I guess they would get too big? and the guppy grass, I like that too, but again, will it overrun? If I get live plants, am I just going to end up killing them because I am not taking care of them right? What are your ideas for a small tank?
