10 gallon conundrum

[MagnifcentBett]

I've had this tank for over a month and have been staring at it, trying to figure out what I want to do with it. I thought I knew. I usually do, but I'm a bit stumped. I'd like to crete a drifwood and stone superstructure with moss and plants, lots of epiphytes. If you have any advice on coating wood with moss, I'd appreciate it! I'm trying to use more thread. less glue.


I'm wondering if I need to go a completly different direction. Not happy with what I've got right now.

Nice pieces of wood and nice setup. Instead of glue and thread you can also use tiny clear elastics. Once the plants grab their easy to cut off and dispose of. Personally I think Java moss and some Anubis Java fern and maybe a few Buce would look pretty sweet. I see it as an awesome habitat for a pea puffer. Fun interactive little fish ( snail murderers)

Agreed…..your set up looks really nice. Putting a couple of shoals of smaller tetras or Rasboras would be awesome swimming around and through the wood. What size tank is it?

I think the title of his thread gives the tank size hahaha

Thanks all, for the good ideas. I have various thoughts on fish Dan's Fish has pairs of this fancy kilifish that I'd love

They can live with small colorful fish like embers or chili rasboras.

If I go that direction, I might consider a sponge filter, but would have to camoflage it.

It'ws been awhile! I ended up making it a home for my betta, Long, and a few ember tetras and a nerite. It's naturalizing nicely and Long is nice to his neighbors. I put in a few red rilli shrimp and have only seen one lately. I"m thinking of trying a less conspicuous coloration.

Nice tank!

The limestones beg to be replaced by wood and plants, though
