Default 10 Gallon Planted

Hehe, for those of you who don't know me, I am Vinny, and I have gotten into the Fish Hobby about three months ago.

I have 2x26 W florescent screw-in bulbs (the cheapo ones) as my lighting, and a Whisper 10i filter.



Since then, I have kept a 10 gallon tank, being home to various different species of plants and shrimp. Currently, the sole species of the tank is Red Cherry Shrimp (about thirty).

Comments/Suggestions welcomed.

Wow, I love it!

I think it'll look great when it grows in more, especially in the front. It might look a little...foresty? Flat, I guess is what I'm trying to say, but I'm sure the plants'll get bushy as well as tall .

Great job!

Looks great Vinny! I love the variety of leaf shapes on the plants.

You might consider breaking the hairgrass into even smaller groups. That should make it spread faster.

Heh, thanks.

I was aiming on filling in the entire foreground with dwarf hairgrass.
