MT snails
ramshorn snails
pond snails
12ish 'feeder' shrimp
I think thats everyone

nice. what kind of filters are you running.

look like emperor 400's or 350's

Might be whisper 30-60 as well?

Very Purdy

2 emperor 400's I can tell you their well worth the price. I got mine cheep at petmountain.com around $50 each with $15 mail in rebate.
I defiantly have to take another pic I've moved a few things sense this one.
I will also attempt to post a plant list.... At least of the ones that I can name. Theirs a large variety in there.

cool tank i think i am going too make one of my 10s a planted tank

Plants are pretty easy if you do your initial setup right.
Ive got about a 1/4 inch of potting soil and a pound or 2 of laterite under my sand. I also use root tabs. But that's all I do no liquid ferts no CO2. Just good light and fish poo

cant go wrong with the fish poo!! Good thing you didnt forget that!lol

Oh wow! I need to add an updated pic! My tank looks so much different now!

Updated list:
7 bronze cories
2 black sail cories
1 panda cory
1 twig cat
2 dojo loaches
2 black kuhlis
3 regular kuhlis
10+ neon tetras
3 albino tiger barbs
1 tiger barb
16 assorted mollys
2 fancy guppys
6 sunset plattys
MT snails
ramshorn snails <--- I'm at war with these, they're eating my plants
pond snails
12ish 'feeder' shrimp

Theirs about 15-20 different kinds of plants in there now
I'm now using flourish excel every other day or so.

And yes I know the water is quite cloudy.... Its taking time to fix it....

What's you lighting? You don't add any co2? No excle? I use that stuff and it is great.

What is you plant list???

I dose excel when I remember to.. any where from daily to weekly. No CO2 injection. Lighting is a double florescent shop light hung over the tank with the plant/aquarium bulbs form home depot. I also have the window shade raised up about 3-4" so I get a little direct sunlight at certain times of the day and indirect throughout the day. And yes I do get algae where the direct sunlight hits but I just fight back with a handy dandy razor blade.
I don't know if I described the substrate or not so here it is from bottom to top; 1/4-1/8" well boiled and rinsed non fertilized top soil mixed with 1/4-1/8" of laterite topped with 1-2" silica pool filter sand from lowes.
Fertilization at the moment is root tabs. I do need to look into getting a second fertilizer though.
Ok plant list.... That's a tough one even when I'm looking at the tank
java moss
Java fern
windelvo's fern
Anubis- not sure of the exact type my guess is dwarf
green wendetii crypt
sunset hygro- That's my best guess, I got it out of a ditch
Southern waternymph
corkscrew val
tape grass- val
water sprite
sword of some kind
giant hygrophila
water wisteria
banana plant
duck weed- it snuck in there somehow
hornwart

And about 5-10 others I havent ID'd yet.. I know I missed quite a few though

Did I mention I like my plants?

The livebearer, shrimp, and cory count has gone up. They all breed in there
The dojo count is now at 1 Mr. Graboid decided he wanted to check out the floor several feet away from the tank one day. I still miss that crazy loach....

wow awesome... looks like the real thing... out in the WILD.. very well done.

That was the point and everyone is breeding in there. The only ones that aren't (or I haven't seen them) are the neon's and loaches. Its a very happy tank all in all. Its just not net friendly at all I couldn't catch a cold in that tank if I tried . Everything as far as decor is real, real rock and wood. The rock is; quartz, slate, marble, granite. Wood is cypress and citrus both with the bark on just rinsed and boiled for a few days.

I have to also add that the corys and loaches helped with the plant placement. If they didn't like it where I put it I found it uprooted the next day. I learned after a few times of replanting it in the same spot to try a different spot and slowly but surely we came to an agreement on where the plants should go. Strange but true. So I guess the corys and loaches need some credit on the tank as well

That's a long list of plants it does not look like that much. You must have alot that still need to grow in. Looks good so far.

They were all bought small. Some grow fast and have been trimmed down and the cuttings moved and some just grow slow. Like the water wisteria I only have one small one that didn't melt away and it doesn't really seem to be growing much at all.
Quite a few have been added recently though.

Whats your floating plant in the tank

There's hornwart, some southern waternymph that got uprooted, Some water sprite baby's and others that just wont stay planted. I also have some type of lily that I found locally... Its not doing very good at the moment and I may have to take it out.
I think thats all of the floaters

awesome, looks like theres only like 3 fish in there

Theres a bunch of fish in there;
1 golden dojo loach
3 kuhli loach
1 chocolate kuhli
1 black kuhli
7 bronze corys
2 black sail corys
1 panda cory
10+ neon tetras
1 tiger barb
3 albino tiger barb
1 farowella cat
? Molly's- reg and sail fin
? platty's
? Guppy's
? ghost shrimp
? MTS
? Ramshorn snails- I'm trying to eradicate them, not sure where they came from
? pond snails
I think that's all of them......

Oh the ? is because they are breeding in the tank

I'm going to have to pull up all of the rock work in the tank soon and give it a thorough vacuuming. I have some debris in there that I need to get out, especially in and under my 'fish condo'. I have been putting off for far too long, it will take several hours to do........

I had to fully gut this tank to move it a whole whopping 6" The majority of the previous fish have been sold or moved into other tanks. The only fish in there now is 1 rubber lip pleco. I will be putting in a few more plecos and some brichardi cichlids. The plants aren't in their final places yet.... nor is the filter back on it... Its on my 90g at the moment till I get a filter for it.... so for now its just an airstone. But here is a few pics of how it sits now.
