Just got back from a trip to Charleston, SC this weekend and came back with some buckets of mud, water, crabs, and some cord grass and other plants from a coastal marsh area north of town.
The plan is to recreate the area in a 5 or 10 gallon tank. Of course all the plants will be emersed or on land.. using driftwood and perhaps stones to keep the mud up high in one end and shallow in the other where the water will be. Further I plan on putting it near a window, so I won't need lighting.
Possibly .. if I have room in the water portion of the tank, I think I might put a par of sailfin mollies or something else that would be happy in the environment. Of course this might require a larger tank for the endeavor. And ideas? thoughts on that?
Frankly I'm looking for any and all opinions on this subject that anyone here may have. And certainly if anyone has messed with this idea or environment.. please share.
thanks.
