Very Very Slick Nano - Soon to be planted (and hopefully grow)

Wanted to run something small that I could play with...
Got this awesome looking tank on the weekend from my LPS

It's a Hagen Fluval Edge... anybody running one of these?
Very very slick looking (Fills right to the top)

I'm thinking about Siamese Fighters (breeding pair) or Crystal Red Shrimp
What you guys reckon?

Some pics.... just dumped some pond weed in to see what the light looked like

 

I would not put Siamese in there. Siamese need to breath oxygen not only in the water, but from the surface, and this tank has no surface. Having said that, a lot of oxygen enters the water at the surface, and having this tank sealed at the top means very little oxygen is going to get into this tank... so I would keep it extremely low stocked.

Shrimp are illegal and blacklisted

 

Sorry did not know about the Shrimp... will not go that route

It has a hole in the top that is covered by that black hood... where the filter hangs on so there is a fairly large open space... (big enough for my hand)

What else could you keep?

 

i heard of the guys on the net complaining of the lighting on this baby.. that they cant get plants to grow properly..

look at the mod these guys had to do:

if u not keen on moding, maybe just have low light plants.. that would work

 

awsome looking little tank
can you give some more details as to its size and price.
would be perfect for my 5yr old as I always seem to find the strangest things in his guppy tank

boksburg petmasters has them.. think they few grands though.. its abt a 2ft i think?

 

Thanks for the heads up... will need to look into the lighting - wil try post some pics as I plant it
then see if we have any growth... then after that maybe mod the lights...

 

Expensive and small... (I'm a sucker for tanks)

Only 27l and a couple of grand for everything including filter lights etc etc

 

@dangerousd ... So what happened to this little guy? Or did the BIG BUILD take up all of you aquatic energy?...lol

Still think this tank is the epitome of design in tanks at the moment...seen some awesome nano reefs done in them(after pimping the lights) - Inquiring minds want to know....

 

SHAME my poor little nano took some time out while I was busy with the big tank ....
The nano is now officialy my WORK desk tank - LOVE it
Got 10 Neons / Dark GRavel and red Rock in it (hard scape)

Will Post pics tomorrow ... I think it looks cool for little work

and agree - these tanks just look good FULLSTOP -
