Plants: Crypt (bronze), Anubius nana, Anubius coffeefolia, broad-leaf sword, sword, sags (dwarf and norm), some Java Fern and some Anacharis.

Critters: 1 Green Terror, 1 Red Tail Shark, 1 Clown Pleco, 1 Trapdoor Snail, 3 Tiger Barbs, 3 Ottos, 2 Kuhli Loaches.

Substrate: mix of gravel and Flourite (?), mostly sand on top. Depth ranges from 2.5 inches to 5 inches.

If I can keep everything alive, the GT will outgrow this tank. I'm guessing that I will learn my abilities and long-term interest before that happens, and before I possibly waste money on something bigger.

I want to get rid of the anacharis and put something else near the filter intake. (Any suggestions?) Ultimately, I don't think I want any anacharis in there. I might add more sags too.
