I'm also thinking of doing a small tank for my puffer fish I have named bob Marley
John,
Trust me I am not insane

Ive read DHG can be difficult to grow.
Ok I guess I'll skip the DHG What scape and plants do you guys recommend? I'm keeping the current scape exactly the same, but if I do that then there's going to be a huge empty space on the left. I was thinking some more slate jutting out of the substrate, facing towards the right side, and then some guppy grass or whatever plant around it. I'm up for whatever you guys recommend.

Thanks Caleb. I was originally looking into val's, but I saw some dwarf sag at the LFS that looks almost exactly the same, doesn't get as big and grows lots faster. Already shooting out little plants! Any opinions about a female cray with the male and puffer?

Ok major change of plans. I decided to use my Aqueon 10 after I really thought about it, and I realized "Hey, why would I spend $30 on a canister filter when I could use a filter I already have and make it better?" So I went out and bought two Biomax media bags and a 3-pack of Aquaclear sponges. So right now I'm letting the 10 run on my 16 for a while, and when the lights come in an ready to do the move I'll use that filter. I was looking into some cryptocrynes to fill in the space, what species do you recommend?
Thanks Rocky! I'll be adding root tabs and dosing API Co2 Booster every other day, I'm going to hold off on DIY Co2 for a little. Do you think that would be enough to keep these guys growing?
