Hi, I'm fairly new to fishkeeping, but am enjoying it very much. I've been reading here about cycling, stocking, planting and so on, for a while and thought I'd say hello. I've had a 10 gallon tank since February, and am slowly setting it up with fish and plants and lots of research. Right now I have:
Fauna:
4 white cloud mountain minnows
3 gold clouds (both types school together)
2 kuhli loaches
1 male betta (this is a new addition, and I have a smaller 2.5 gallon tank ready for it with a plant and heater if it doesn't get along with the minnows)
too many snails (ramshorn and the malaysian trumpet ones) I take out some at every water change, so they don't overrun the tank or destroy the plants, but they are a nuisance
Flora:
2 small Java ferns
a large mass of Java moss that all the fish like to swim in
about half a dozen small crypts
some unidentified floating leaves, rather like duckweed, but not clumped together
Inanimate Objects:
blue gravel (though maybe the kuhlis would prefer sand)
a large flat slate rock for the kuhlis to hide under during the day
a small twisted piece of driftwood to anchor the moss
a wooden "sunk ship" with a hole in the side which the betta has appropriated as its cave.

Fortunately, I found someone who wanted a colourful planted community tank, and didn't have to tear it down or rehome the fish individually.
