Setting up a 10 gallon tomorrow, any suggestions on what to put in it? I think i want to breed corys in it but i don't know yet.

corys are always fun.

If I was setting up a 10G I would do a natural planted tank. Those are sweet!

10g is too small for most corys, they are all hyper and need the space for their mad dashes.

Do a natural planted tank with abunch of cardinal tetras in it.That would look sweet.

Good idea! I think thats what I'm gonna do. I would like to use some Dwarf Hair Grass but I don't know where I could get some around here.

Fishvixen might know. Also ask fern she might have some and dose ship usps for super cheap. usafishbox

galaxy raspboas would look better IMO, they are a tiny pretty fish and would look good in there with some small leaved plants..... It would make a small tank look bigger.
Yup I have tons of plants, I'm shipping some out to vixen here soon so if you want some let me know and you guys can split the shipping, that would make it a medium flat rate box Setting up a 10 gallon tomorrow, any suggestions? 393849

I have micro chain sword...... I think that's what it is fish

I pay more attention to fish names than I do to plant names. If I like it I get it and grow it, that's how I do my plants and I sell variety packs for cheap.

Just ordered some Dwarf Hairgrass from a local store, It's a cool little plant that spreads along the bottom of the tank like real grass. It's supposedly AKA a "carpet plant". And thanks Fern I'll keep that in mind, I might have to order some plants from you!

For hair grass be sure you have the right lighting, I use a clip on work lamp with a 100W screw in CF "daylight" bulb 6500K for my 10 gal plus it's in a window.

I see micro swords all the time at fish stores they make a nice ground cover...they need a bit of light though. Another Idea is to take craft mat(plastic mat with holes used to make loop rugs and such) add java moss and makes a nice looking ground cover you can cut into designs
