I don't know if i have ever posted a pic of my planted 10 gallon tank so here is one. I would appreciate some suggestions to give it more excitement... or something lol.

I like it a lot Whether it's the picture or the aquascaping, it looks larger than a 10g.

Sorry, but I'm not good with creative ideas. If you don't get more replies here you might want to try posting in the [link=Aquascaping]http://www.fishprofiles.com/interactive/forums/forum.asp?id=22" style="COLOR: #FF66FF[/link] forum.

What stock do you have in the tank?

Hey thanx. I keep the plants trimmed down pretty small so i suppose that helps make it look bigger. The stock is 5 colombian tetras. I started with 4 and lots 1, but sinse then they have breed in the tank and 2 of the fry survived and are now grown up so it worked out well.

very nice tank! & I agree it does *seem* to be bigger than a 10 gal...

What kind of plants are in the tank, and do you use any special lighting, CO2, etc?

Nice tank! May I ask...what is the plant next to the javafern? The plant with oval leaves...looks quite cool!

Im running an AC mini filter on the tank, as for ligting i have one 33 watt flourescent "plant" bulb. I have a Hagen DIY Co2 (you can see the staircase in teh back right) which runs when i remember to fill it . The plants in the tank include a banana plant, java fern, java moss (which is always everywheres that i dont want it) green wendii crypt, red wendtii crypt some type of hygro, 1 small stem of water sprite(which is nearly invisible) and well as whatever is in the back right corner i cant remember the name. If you mean what is the plant with the oval leaves in the front of the tank that is just an amazon sword plant that got way to big so every 4 months or so i cut all of its leaves off and it has to start over again. There are also some floating plants wich the owner of the store was unsure of the name but for $1 a handfull i took a chance. Thanx for the replies.

The tank also has 5 ghost shrimp which i see from time to time.
