AphexMatt's 10G Planted Tank (pic. hvy)

After about 2 years since my last tank fizzled out I'm back into the hobby.

FTS for the non-believers... lol




The star of the show, he likes to pose for close ups... but it must be hard having everyone look at you, especially when they look like this:


Thanks for looking here are the tank stats:
10G tank.
Aqueon Power Filter 10 w/ DIY sponge on intake.
50?Watt heater @ 80° F (+2° day, -3° night).

15lbs. Black Sand Flourite.
(1) piece Malaysian driftwood.
(1) piece Mopani driftwood.

Plants:
Java Moss attached to driftwood.

Camera: Casio Exilim 10.1 (still learning how to photo a tank, any suggestions?)

Plans:

Custom rebuilding the Ikea furniture around the tank to include a different light setup.

Thank you everyone for your great response to my tank! Its still a work in progress, but aren't they all? Look what I found! Hitchhiker! What type do you think he/she is? I'll ask who I got the plants from what she had to confirm.

Yup confirmed Ramshorn!
He isn't the newest member of the 10G though soon these lil guys will be going in to complete the stocking.


3 Otos! I got them at the Petco close to me and they are currently waiting in the 5.5G QT tank. I'm not going to keep them there too long as they do seem lively and healthy. Only 1 doesn't have a really round belly but I have seen them all eat when I was testing foods out for them.
