I recently bought some plants for a ten gallon tank and plan to buy some fish to put in there should i get co2 for them or will the fish put off enough co2 for the plants or is there anyother thing i should get for them.

Here is a picture of the tank sorry for the bad quality.

 
looks like you have a crypt, some camboba, and....... a giant hygro? I can't really tell. well, the fish may make enough for the crypt and the camboba, but the hygro (if that's what it is) will need CO2 injection, most likely. what fish are you going to get for the tank, and whats the volume in gallons?
 
the plants are camboba, i believe that is giant hydro, some Aponogeton bulbs, a
banana plant. I believe thats what there all called. And im gonna get some more plants. I am gonna get two female bettas,two guppies a couple of bottom feeder fish and about three or four more different kinds. That is a ten gallon fish tank.
 
Just make your own, yeast + sugar = CO2

How to build one is the 5th paragraph down.

If you read the co2 package and it says "natural fermentation" They are selling you a yeast + sugar co2 maker, in fact the hagen one says you must include your own sugar.

I use a homemade jober, but I did buy that ladder hagen sells, Ill let you decide if it works.

Hey podhead that's a sweet tank...is it a 10g? is it a high-light or low-light tank? What species of plants are in there?
 
Yes its a 10g, there are 35w of light 2-10w compacts and a 15w regular floresent.
Im not sure about what half of those plants are, but I do know that I have 2 types of Red ludwiga, micro-grass(some type), moneywort, java fern, java moss, and anacharis. There is more in there like another type of grass and some type of bulb-turned sword, and others but I cant keep up on what they are each called.
