10 gallon evolution and rescape journal!

[Lexi_D]

I decided to post the evolution of my 10g and the current set-up. On Friday I will be getting the first components for the rescape. Evolution list:

1. Planned out Southeast Asian Biotope
2. Swordtail fry grow out tank/ algae farm :wall:
3. Shelldweller tank
4. Neon dwarf rasboras/Bridgesii
5.Adding shrimp, more fish, and more snails and totally rescaping!! *coming soon!*
I plan to put in some "branchy" driftwood and some new low-light plants (I'll be moving the giant hairgrass to the 20g).

interesting progression. i like the final shot though.

thanks! Today I switched over the filter from the Whisper in-tank power filter HOB 10i to an Eheim sponge filter. I figured it would be less ugly, take up less space, be better for the shrimp, and maybe work better (I hope!) Pics tomorrow after getting some driftwood and/or plants and shrimp. :)

A nice beginning!

Thanks! I couldn't find the wood, but i did find another brig (Pink and purple striped!!) at the LFS and also some bolbitis spp. I added some leftover driftwood that I already had for now, I will try to find a better piece later. I also need some anubias, java fern and java moss, but that can come later. I have not gotten the shrimp yet either. I may order off of here for that and maybe the plants too... :) Pics later b/c I'm on my dad's laptop right now so I can't post them yet.
