10g Journal :)

Hey all I have had way too much time on my hands recently and to be quite honest have been pretty bored haha. So I did a full clean of my tanks (everything got cleaned, massive water change etc) and realised how boring my 10g was! So, I felt that since this is gonna me my first time a) planting a tank b) keeping inverts and probably a few more I can;t about right now anyway to start things off, some specs:

10 gallon tank: stating the obvious
Filter: I'll find the box >.<
It has a heater

Stock:
1 guppy
3 agazzi corydoras

Planted, if one plant counts. It will be planted in the future though, definetly
Bogwood, no tannins (it used to be in 26g)
Sand substrate.

Excuse the bad photography, it actually looks better in person I swear :laugh:

So, thought?

Looks good so far, I would put a larger plant behind that wood in the left corner and get some smaller plants to fill in the right back portion of the tank as well.

yeah, I forgot to put plans for the tank *facepalm*

I was planning to get plants but placing I was stumped on, thanks for helping!

other plans:

Adding black background (doing this ASAP)
adding plants (shown above)
Attempt to hide the filiter, it bothers me how its there -__-"


Thats my small list haha, but I'll add to it, but do these first, I am in no hurry to get stocking it

Not sure to be quite honest, I'll check for you

and yes they are in the tank, been there for ages now, the guppy is pretty old though (went from dads tank to mine, he's had it for a years, I've had it for 4 months maybe) so I woouldn't expect the lil guy to last till the final stages of the tank I really like him but thats how it is I guess

As for stocking, the only thing I am positive on is shrimp, RCS and ghost I think.

thanks for replies
Been ill over the last few days so haven't cleaned it haha, algae grows fast in it, which does suck, but I normally keep on top of it.

Yes the inhabitants are in, however the cories hide under the BG and the guppy is there.

What are groundcovers, stupid question I know....

and the plan is too add more plants DIY CO2 I doubt I could do :/
