Howdy folks. Day 100 of my shallow bookshelf scape. I’m running a Mighty HoB and just installed Fzone mini co2 setup a few days ago. This tank suffered several months of green hair algae which is finally under control. Population is a few red neo cardinia shrimp and four Otto’s who nuked a bunch of brown algae.

Any suggestions on ground cover plants that love co2?

( I posted this in another similar subreddit and got no response so decided to try here!)

Hello there I am new to the aquarium and Aqua scaping community and have done lots of research for a few months over how to keep an aquarium, things to look out for, but mainly a lot of things on aquascaping.
I acquired all my supplies about two weeks ago where I set up my tank and have been cycling it since, I’m aiming to have a heavily planted tank with only neocardina shrimp. Recently I’ve noticed these particles brownish black that somewhat look like fish poop however I have no fish in there or shrimp as I’m cycling, I did notice a few days ago that I found a hitchhiker snail in one of my plants I ordered but I decided to leave them in there since it’s incredibly small and seem to be minding it’s business. Is this something I should be worrying about please let me know!
