Hi all,
On and off aquarium enthusiast for 25 years. I set up a new tank in each city I move to. So far, I've done (in order):
-Goldfish (5g, 10g, 20g-Long)
-Fancy goldfish (30g, 55g)
-FOWLR marine (55g)
-Reef marine (40g)
-Pacific NW coldwater marine (lived near the coast, so I could keep ochre sea stars etc.) (75g, 54 degrees F)
-Species-only scarlet reef hermit crab (40g)
So now I'm in Atlanta for the time-being, and wanted to try a tiny 5.5g brackish. I've had an enduring fascination with bumblebee gobies, but can't seem to find them anywhere at the LFS proximal to Midtown.
I don't know if I should try for plants in a tank that small with the gobies, and was thinking SG of 1.010, which would probably ace most things out except for Java Ferns from what I've read. I've never done planted aquaria, so I have no idea what I'm doing on that front.
Any guidance you have would be great - looking forward to participating on the forum!
