In Colorado Salvinia is illegal where it is considered an invasive, noxious, weed. Please don't mention my Salvinia-choked tanks to the local authorities.Pistia is illegal in the EU since last year. I'm kinda glad I don't have any left anymore. Here in Germany it's now less of a problem to grow Cannabis for personal use than having Pistia in your fish tanks.
I applaud your state for that since 2012.As for Cannabis - and Psilocybin (Magic) Mushrooms - the same is true in Colorado.
No worries, you take care of the excess in an exemplary way.In Colorado Salvinia is illegal where it is considered an invasive, noxious, weed. Please don't mention my Salvinia-choked tanks to the local authorities.My excess Salvinia goes into the compost bin.
Does this seem better?Yes, have fun. If you had written "a pair" I'd have strongly advised to not do it, but as you say you are adding only a single male it will work.
BUT
please add at least double the amount of wood hardscape. Island scapes lack cover all the fish you want would need to feel safe and not stress out. Corydoradini catfish should definitely be offered shelter from wood pieces. Just for cover from above, no caves.
A single kept dwarf cichlid would also lack stimulation and enrichment in this setup. It takes more than leaves and some seed pods. Go out to the woods, gather dry twigs, maybe even get a bigger one you can lean to the glass. Just offer the fish a lot of structure.
That's my advice.
Thank you! Definitely more cover now, just want to make sure the fish are happy.Love it!
