Updated 10g planted

[mfdrookie516]

Here's my not-so-hot looking planted 10g. Im not sure what plants I have other than java fern, anubias, and HM (baby tears). I decided last night I'm going to be putting some java moss on the driftwood, maybe just go with shrimp (if i can, never had any luck before). We'll see. Any recommendations? Ideas? Thoughts?

Stocking is:
1 Male betta
3 juvie red wag platy (raised from fry)
1 rubber lipped pleco (once he's big enough, headed to the 150g)

Rubberlip Pleco stay small, usually under 4-5in. Mine never went over 3.75in.
I like it, very natural.

I love it alot... I actually have a 10G set up stored in my basement. Looking at yours makes me want to set it up and get a betta and shrimp.
Very nice.

Betta + shrimp = fat betta

If you want shrimp with your betta go for ghosts or bamboos. If you're thinking RCS the betta will be fat and sassy.


And I don't think your tank is ugly at all. I really like it. Let me know if you want some rotala indica or ludwigia repens to add some reds to the tank. I'm saving some clippings aside for A1 and can save you some too.

looks nice

My friend got some electric blue tetras for his betta tank. They are so small and fast the betta just ignores them. But, he did eat every shrimp the guy ever put in there.

Nice betta condo man.

Thanks everybody

I guess I should post up some pictures of it recently, as the Betta, Platy, and Pleco are no longer in there

I moved some of my Multies over.. They apparently killed the pleco, I gave the betta and platy juvies away. For some reason, since moving them over, I've had some algae issues... its all over the glass. Not sure why, nothing has changed except the fish and I know the pleco didnt eat much algae. I've cut my lighting time down big time, but now my plants are starting to show that they're not getting enough. Ugh, i hate algae.

The platys also nibble at algae. Makes sense you'd have a bit of a "bloom"
