The 10 gallon guppy jungle

**akdylpickles** · 03-13-2012, 05:42 AM

This is my new 10 gallon tank. I seeded it with some media from my old tank.

(please excuse the random rock I put it in the tank for the goby to clean)

Tank Specs:
The tank is a standard 10 gallon
2 15 watt CFL lights in standard hood
1 filter (not sure of brand)
50 watt heater
Organic miracle grow capped with play sand

Plants:
mother plant of crpyt wendtii "bronze"
dwarf sag
ludwigia repens

Fish:
1 african rock goby
1 crs shrimp
and soon I will hopefully get some show german red snakeskin guppies

Thanks for looking.

Heres a pic of the mother crypt

and one of the goby

Does anyone have any recommendations for the tank?

jnizzle · 03-14-2012, 06:50 AM

Putting in any background plants? Jungle val or Rotala or Ludwigia maybe!

**akdylpickles** · 03-14-2012, 06:53 AM

Alright. Thanks. Next monday Da Plant Man is sending me a huge plant package so I might trow some plants in this tank depending on what he sends me

IM also thinking of putting a carpeting plant in here? opinions?

**@marko@** · 03-14-2012, 01:26 PM

its a small tank, the best carpets for a tank that size would be HC, or E. belem

**akdylpickles** · 03-22-2012, 02:56 AM

Well today I got two little crs shrimp!!! Im really excited. Pics later

**Da Plant Man** · 03-22-2012, 03:47 AM

PICS POR FAVOR!

Lookin' good

**akdylpickles** · 03-25-2012, 05:06 AM

Well I put the bag in the water when I got the shrimp and i hadn't even put any water in the bag when the smaller shrimp died

So now I only have one shrimp. ill hopefully get more soon. but theyre so expensive at the fish store
What grade is this?

Venturing into CRS is risky, I would say that they are A,B grade.

**akdylpickles** · 03-30-2012, 11:45 PM

Got 9 cherry shrimp yesterday! pics will come later

You have a good tank going here. I think I would add some on the right side. The one plant looks lonely.

**akdylpickles** · 04-01-2012, 06:37 PM

Yeah I'm trying to figure out a good foreground plant that doesn't need co2. Options?
