This is a couple of months into my 10 gallon tank project. It's not perfect, but it's getting there.

Please give me some feedback.

Thanks.

Very nice!

Maybe some kind of a background...?
 
Nice tank .........:)
 
What kind of plant is that one in the middle? The low bushy looking one? (sorry im a noob ;) )
 
Not really sure what the stem plants are, as they were part of some kind of "5 plants for 5 dollars" deal I got at one point.

The bushy one is hemianthus micranthemoides though.

The plants on the surface are lemna minor, salvinia minima, azolla caroliniana and some kind of water lettuce (any help?).

I find that the floating plants greatly reduce the presence of algae. I had a metric f***ton of algae until they took off and now there is none. They also create shady spots and launchpads for the shrimp. The rasbora maculata seem to like it as well. If it starts to take over, just scoop it out.

Thought I'd add a few updated pictures to this thread. The Hemianthus micranthemoides is really coming in.
