So I’m planning to partially rescape my 5 gallon, and I’m looking for advice on what to do with it.
Photos:
I’m thinking move the three plastic plants around, and replace the fake log with an actual piece of driftwood, and stick a few bits of java moss in the nooks and crannies, in hope of eventually growing a bushy little forest. I’m also considering putting in a betta log or hammock. Which would you recommend?
Also, what should I do with the fake plants? I want to keep them for hiding space but I’m not sure where to put them.
One last thing: My substrate has a nasty habit of collecting poop and other detritus. Might a single Malaysian Trumpet Snail help? My substrate is like rather large-grained sand, about the size of a large sesame or strawberry seed. Would this be too big for said snail?
And as the title suggests, I’m doing this on a budget (25 dollars, give or take) so I can’t do anything major or too pricey. Should this not be enough to do anything significant I’ll simply wait for when I can afford more.
