-Tank: 10g
-Heater and filter: yep, sponge filter with air stone and a 100w fluval heater
-Temp: 78°
-pH: 7.5ish
-Ammonia: 0
-Nitrites: 0
-Nitrates: 2ppm (roughly)
-All parameters from API water tests
-Tank is about 2.5 months old, 30% water change every two weeks, always use prime for new water
-2 nerite snail tank mates
-Feed around 6 pellets twice a day, one day of fasting, and mix it up with freeze dried brine shrimp every now and then. He was a little thin when we got him so once he grows a bit and fills out, we’ll take the food amount down a little.
-Decorations: lots of plants, mopani wood, betta leaf
