10 PLANTED AQ . what plants.

[darkmindzz]

so i am going to move my Betta into a 10G AQ..
i also understand that bettas get along fine with hengeli rasboras.. so will have a school of them in the tank..

but i would like to know what kinda plants do well in a 10g tank..
as far as size goes... i dont want plants that take up so much room..

let me know

the type of plants will depend on the amount of light you will provide..

 

[darkmindzz]

i will provide the max wattage needed for whatever plants i get..
also i will probably do seachem excel for c02.. and use flourite substrate..

okay well even then you can go 2 ways..
1- having low light tank (1.5wpg) and add plants like anubias, ferns, crypts which do not take up that much room and grow slow. Basically you wouldnt need to do any trimmings. Co2/ferts wouldnt be a must

2- Medium light tank (2-3wpg) Here you would need co2 (in form of excel + add a diy setup) and you would need ferts for sure. As far as plants you can go with blyxa, chain swords, dwarf sags, rotala, ludwigia.. the possibilities are endless.
