I am thinking of trying and growing some mangroves on my desk. Does anyone have any experience of tips with these awesome looking plants? Does anything need to be supplemented? Iron, Magnesium?
I am contemplating a 1-1.5g tank, maybe with a little substrate to keep them rooted, and upright. No heater as there is no outlet available close enough to my desk.
I understand it is preferable to ween them from SW to FW -how long a period of time should this process be done over? I want to try and prevent them from losing all of their leaves. But if I can find mangroves already acclimated to FW, all the better for me.
I originally didn't plan on having any critters in the tank due to not having a heater in the tank. Is there any small animal that would do okay in some shallow water? I figure having a small critter in there would be nice in order to provide some nutrients for the mangroves. Sometimes it gets kind of cold in my room -but does anyone have any suggestions?
