Planting my 10 gallon

xXDylanXx · 06-13-2012, 04:41 PM

I just set my 10 gallon tank up and wanted to make it a heavily planted low light tank. I have no idea what plants would make a good choice..
Its got a sand substrate so am going to need sone root tabs. Ive got a small rock formation in the middle of the tank as well.

I know for sure im going to have some java moss because the fish im getting loves the java moss..

Any suggestions??

You would probably want to stick to java ferns, bolbitis, anubias, and mosses. No root tabs are required for these plants. If you have root tabs, I would also suggest crypts.

Are here any floating plants i can put in the tank other than duckweed??

Salvinia, frogbit, dwarf water lettuce all do great

Also red root floater if you want to add a little color.
