    29 gallon dicrossus filamentosus tank ideas

    29 gallon dicrossus filamentosus tank ideas

    I thinking about including palm fronds for the aquascape. I have a palm tree in my backyard, are there any steps I need to take to prepare this palm for the tank? Like should I let it sit once I've cut it for a week before I add it to the tank?

    Can i put Dicrossus maculatus?

    also, my fish store has a good amount of species but there are a couple that i don't know if they could fit in a 15. eremnopyge, hogsloi, macmasteria, and viejita red neck. Would any of those work? Also, I never heard of the eremnopyge, are those pretty rare?
