Hi
i'm setting up my first tank - a 10 gallon. i have finished fishless cycling, have the temp and pH as needed and have decided on what to stock it with (please let me know your opinions): one male betta, 3 amano shrimp & 4 african dwarf frogs. i'll be letting the shrimp and frogs get settled before the betta comes into the picture and hopefully keeping the frogs well fed in the hope that nobody eats or attacks eachother. i know it might be a bit hit or miss.
i'm also not sure i have enough places for them all to hide and am a bit worried about that. As it stands, the tank has two tunnel things, one of which has java ferns lodged in it, and an anubias nana which is attached to a rock. The plants are very sparse at the moment, they've only been there around 6 weeks. i'm hoping the ferns will thicken out somehow...but i'm not sure. i feel there should be more plants but i don't know what and where...any obvious suggestions?
Also a little worried about the light as it's an inbuilt type jobby and very bright. i don't think the plants like so much light, i'm wondering if you can change the voltage/change the intensity of light somehow??
