10 Gallon Planted Project Log

[FishCrazyBenBOMB]

Well I moved all my plants and everyone from my 5 gallon to a 10 gallon aquarium. So now I got a 10 gallon planted aquarium. Fish are still the same. 5 red-eyed tetras, 3 neon tetras, 1 otto. But i'm getting a bamboo shrimp soon.

Driftwood

Hornwort

Javafern

Lookin' great so far. Getting some java moss, c. wettis for plants soon.

Then like I said before I might be gettin' a bamboo shrimp soon but if they don't have any i'm going to get some bubble bee gobys. And if they don't have those then idk lol.


Keep in touch

It is looking really good! Keep updating as you add plants and fish.

Well I went to three fish stores and couldn't find any fish or plants I wanted. The last store though I went to had a very colorful GBR. I have one all ready but I think it is a female because it is for very colorful. So I snagged him while I could. He is fairly small but has great color. Hopefully they might breed and I could get even more GBR.

Well here is a picture of him in the bag and out of the bag.

Out of Bag


Also is this a female GBR?

WTG. I like what you've done so far.

Are you planning to breed the Rams?

Good Grief! I really should read the entire post before replying. Well, let us know if you have success breed that pair.

Thanks! I was aiming for like the left half to be kind of like a thick woodsy type deal and the right to be more open for swimming.


Um. well I wanted to see if I could get them to breed. But I don't know if one is male and one is female. I wouldn't mind breeding them because I bet my local fish store would buy them up quick because they always sell out of em.

This was taken on Nov. 17th, 2008. About a week ago I put the plants in. Doing alright. They should be doing better soon because i'm now doing 3x doses of PlantGro a week, (Mon., Wed., Fri.) I was having the lights on from 7am-10pm (15hrs.) Which I found out was to much. I know have a timer which is set to turn on at 12 noon till 10pm (10hrs.) The plants should be getting better and growing better now since i've changed to this. I'll post another pic in a week or so unless something happens.



Well here is the photo now.





Fish:
2 GBR'S (1 male, 1 female)
