Ziggy's 10g

[Ziggy953]

Ok FW guys and gals...I have lots of this little guy running around this tank. Common hitchiker I'm told on plants.

Good? Bad? Doesn't matter???

Not my image btw. Found on the net.

pond snails.

They're fine. Will multiply in mass if you overfeed the tank.

 

[Ziggy953]

Good to know thanks.

 

[FishEggs]

i think they are munching on my amazon sword so i started squishing them.

 

[Ziggy953]

Also good to know. I will keep them in check. I don't want a mess on my hands

So for some updates on the little 10g tank. I took a lot of pics. Those of you who know me from the SW world know I take a lot of pics of my tanks so sit back and enjoy. Look at the plant growth. Good grief!!

Yeah, good. Now what is the one next to it? It's short. The one in the 3rd pic.

 

[Ziggy953]

Dont know what that is called. i liked the look of it. There is more of it in the back of the tank. The little bit in front there is actually a clipping form the big plant

 

[libbyb]

I want some! It's so interesting the way the leaves grow out of the center. How tall are the ones in the back?

 

[Ziggy953]

The ones in the back are about 6" tall. It's a nice plant and I like it

Here are some updated pictures of the 10g and the plant growth. The tank looks very yellow in these pics but that's just because the camera I'm using isn't very good and I can't adjust the white balance.

You cant see the driftwood cor that combona i think its called or amublia but anyway have you thought about making the plant a back drop plant?

 

[Ziggy953]

I have thought about that actually. I didn't think it would grow this fast though.

 

[Jason7894561230]

Been for ever since I updated this thread. here are a couple shots of the 10 after I moved recently...

I'm injecting CO2 from the 54g corner system and dosing a minor bit of ferts for the plants. Not doing a lot in this tank it is more a breeding ground for shrimp and guppies.
