So yesterday my boss replanted one of the tanks at work and he pruned all of the plants. He put aside the cuttings and gave them away to whoever wanted them. I took a bunch and filled my 10g up. It doesn't look perfect because there are way too many plants for a 10g, but it'll have to do until I get something bigger. My stock is 1 betta, 3 African Dwarf Frogs, and 1 cherry barb (some of you may remember that I only have 1 because I accidentally cooked the other 4 this summer =x)

Well, what does everyone think?

I like it! I love a whole bunch of plants in a tank. I want my 10 gallon to look like that! I have 2 male Bettas in a divided 10 gallon with lots of plants, but they are the ones that dont fill out. They just shoot up lol Love the froggies heart I used to have 2 a while ago whee

xD thank you, it actually looks better than that but the only camera I have right now is the one on my phone and it sucks. I suggest looking on ebay for plants. I got java fern, java moss, an anubia, and a crypt all for less than $10 including shipping. Spangles is LOVING all of the plants. So much space for him to explore.

Theres all kinds of places to get nice plants here, its just having the money (or time) to go get some >.< I just bought the cheapest ones, which happen to be stem plants. So at some point, I will have a tank full of plants, I just have to let the existing ones grow up a bit lol

Yes, there are lost of places here too, but they are so expensive! Ebay is much cheaper if you're on a budget. I'm excited, I might be getting a 20g long and all the trimmings for free! Fingers crossed.

Nice! I just bought the equipment and substrate for my 10g yesterday-- I'm hoping to do a mini amazon biotope

That'll be awesome! I love amazon fishes and I'm doing the same thing when I get a 20g long. I'm gonna have a pleco, a pair of apistos, as well as moving my amazon swords into it and I'm not sure what else. Maybe cardinal tetras. Are rummynose tetras from the amazon?

I believe so.

When/IF I ever get a huge tank, hopefully a 100 long, I want to keep a bunch of different plecos, cories, angels... blah, everything xD

Hmm, so some of you may know that my latest addition to my 10g is a Bristlenose pleco. I do not advise keeping one in a 10g unless you are very experienced and dedicated with your water changes. Plecos eat a lot and produce a lot of waste, not to mention they are very active at night and a 10g is really not suitable for any pleco, even the dwarf ones. he will be moved to a 20g long as soon as I get one.

Anyway, now that my disclaimer is done, here are some more recent pics. I *finally* got new rechargable batteries for my real camera, so now you guys get to enjoy better quality instead of my crappy camera phone pics. Yay!
