I guess it depends on footprint.... this is a 16 gallon right? No idea what the footprint is in that size.

That's what I was thinking initially as well. In my 10 the rams barely tolerate a single scarce oto.

Yeah that's what I was kinda guessing. Footprint of the 16 is weird anyway, wish it were more like a 20 long.
On a side note, turns out GBRs love silver fish! Female was able to get it down, male didn't even try. My go to pest solutions....
I'll try and upload some pics of the 10 later, not much to see. Still have to go to a creek and get some rocks. Tons of quartz in there. Not sure if I already mentioned this but I planted the pogo octo in the 10, dry start method for a few days. Misting it a few times a day. Also put some octo in the 16, going to be interesting to see how it does. Shout out to Fish Wrangler for the plants!

The 10 is going to be mostly a crypt and blyxa tanks. Going to leave it at that along with whatever plants come out of the 5.5, along with an amazon sword. Still gotta get around to going to the LFS to pick up some crypts. If anyone has any crypts or blyxa they'd be willing to sell me send me a PM, might post a want in classifieds.

I believe Brooks has blyxa. I can get crypts at the end of the month from my friend who raises them, if you can wait.

Sweet I'll shoot Brooksie a PM. I'll see if I don't have any crypts by then, but if I don't I may have to take you up on that offer. Thanks!

Thanks, looks pretty and right now lol but once filled and planted I'm pretty sure it'll look better. Just noticed I accidentally made a sort of path in the middle there between the 2 rock piles, might leave that empty of plants, just fill in everything around it. I've got a lot more rocks so I can still mess around with the scape. Got a small piece of petrified wood that's in the 5.5 right now so still need to squeeze that in somewhere. Right now I'm thinking that the dwarf sag will look awesome in the back ground, baby tears in the back left, blyxa and crypts everywhere else. And moss tied to rocks. Got some others I've forgotten about....whatever, they'll show up

yeah, I know what you're saying. Missing some height. Hoping the plants will fill that in. Don't know if I should get another bag of sand, would help mound up some piles and get the rocks a bit higher. Plus the cap seems a bit shallow....
Caught along and signed into my Youtube account. Going to try and film some stuff soon, I'd like to get the puffs + the GBRs. BTW the hood on the 10 was temporary, and to put on the lights so you could actually see something.

Excuses excuees tisk tisk. Those plants will fill in any height you want, add some water for the full effect
