Neocardinia! Could catch a hitchhike on your plants. These guys are creatures of simple tastes: If there is some algae growth in tank, it won’t starve. Can eat any fishfood you throw into tank as well. Will prefer mildly hard water (some kh and gh. I have KH 6-7 and GH 9 in my tank with them) and PH over 7. If your tap water is deemed moderately hard – this guy will be fine. You can get him friends if you want a colony!
