	Plants for a 10 gall?
Julia Fingerling Posts: 26 Kudos: 36 Votes: 0 Registered: 31-Jul-2004	I have a 10 gallon tank up in my bedroom, and I need some ideas for plants to put in it. There are three swords, a molly, a tetra, and a betta fish in it at the moment, but I'm considering adding some more fish later, as well, the pet store guy said I ahd room for 10 in that tank, though I don't completely trust him. -cough-

Wendtii, Balansae, Lutea and Undulata would be a nice mix. Different leaf colours and shapes. Java Fern, Anubias and African Water fern. Are even easier, like the above plants, light requirements are low, but more light, means quicker the growth rate. Gary
