I have a 80 gallon tank that I have had fish in for 18 years and over the last 5 years they have been succumbing to old age and I am down to 1 clown. So I am going to convert it over to a planted tank as soon as I get my nitrates under control.
I am thinking of planting some nubias barteri, Anubias nana, Cryptocoryne Parva, Bucephalandra "Green Wavy", Cryptocoryne Tropica, Micro Sword, Wisteria, Java Fern.
For fish I am thinking of different colors of Dwarf Gourami, Hillstream loach, Amano shrimp, Cherry shrimp, and Otocinclus catfish, I will see if the Gourami have a expensive lunch on the shrimp. The Gourami will be the last in as I want to get the plants established and growing good with the cleaning crew first so they will have a place to hide.
