Platylover I really like the plant in your tank! What is it? Does it have to be planted I only have gravel?

I have bacopa up against the divider and the rest is penny wort. It doesn't have to be planted, but for Bettas I only do live plants(besides a piece of bamboo on a decoration) because they are helpful with the water and shouldn't pose a threat to your Bettas fins. You do need it to be where they can't easily see eachother though, that way they don't flare at eachother to much and stress out. The penny wort(if your asking whether it needs to be planted and not the tank) it doesn't, you can just have it float. Thanks! I think it turned out well(so glad to have all my tanks planted now).

 

[Justkeepswimming01]

I'm looking into plants that would look good in my 10G and be low maintenance lol. I have to get a light first but I want it planned out.
Hoping to divide it when I know if Casper is male or female lol.

 

[Dumpling]

here is mine, its fairly new and I'm still playing around a bit. I just moved plants around to give my mystery snail more room to putter around lol. I just got some kind of foreground low light crypt plant. I have been propagating the cabumba to try to get the forest look going which I like. I was planning on adding driftwood but the one I water logged turned out not to be the best fit for the tank. I might go withba mangrove root type thing instead but for now I'm letting the plants grow and fill out the space.

I'm not a huge fan of blue gravel and pink plants but it's what I had around haha

 

[Goldenflame06]

I found dory! Nice tank.

Here's the ten g now-

Thanks! I really like your tank too!

 

[UniqueShark]

Added more to one of my 10 gallons

 

[Gage]

Got all the lava rock in the tank now and dirted it

Looks like you took up all the space. Is it only 3 gallons now?

 

[Silister Trench]

I don't know how you did it but this tank is seriously one of my favorite tanks I've seen for a while, and I'm not the biggest fan of weird decor. Haha!

 

[Platylover]

Smellslikechaos, yours reminds me of viva piñata and the cocoadile.

Wow really? Thanks lol I thought it looked terrible XD

 

[Gage]

Yeah probably but it's a snail tank so I'm not so worried about it.

 

[LiamsPappy]

Newer 10 gallon setup. So far 5 female Purple Emperor Tetras and 2 Amano Shrimp. Will be adding a Dwarf Gourami and maybe another Tetra or 2.

Please excuse the rainbow and crab- my 3 year old picked them out so Daddy had to add them lol

Nice tank! I hate to be the one telling you this, but the emperor tetras don't belong in a 10 gallon and neither does a dwarf gourami, so please don't add more!

I was gonna point that out too, but I didn't wanna be the first one.

Lol that's so cute

Haha! Yeah, really. I reminds me of an Oliver Knot freestyle tank. Just natural enough with something "off" going on.

Here is my 10g.

 

[CROWNTAILBETTA]

I know this is an old thread but I finally decorated my 10 gallon. javascript:;

I love your tank, I've saved the picture for inspiration for my 15 gallon I'm setting up. Mines got a light coloured sand at the moment though, I might change it to black....hmmm.

The other idea is like a roman ruin type thing with a betta called spartacus

 

[tardismum]

I plan to add a black background and replace the plastic plant in the middle with a Java Fern on some driftwood. Considered a grass like plant in front but I can't decide.

I love your set up! What kind of rocks are those. I like how they pop.

It's not my tank, it's DanB80TTS

Thanks, it's really a very basic tank set up that I threw together one day, It shouldn't be too hard to build something similar. I'm glad you like it though.
tardismum Those rocks are actually reef rubble, the kind of rock you use in a saltwater tank, I kept the amount of it to a minimal as to reduce the effect they may have on the pH and hardness. It's done fine the last few months in there though.

 

[Ajoslyn]

Excuse the cloudiness as I just did a water change when I took the pic but here's my 10 gallon tank. It houses a male betta, 3 corys, 2 nerite snails and a few cherry shrimp.

 

[mirp448]

mine is kinda boring right now lol I need more plants - anyone got any recommendations for stuff besides java fern that likes low light and is ok floating or in gravel?

 

[bettaa9]

This is my 15 gallon tank, I'm undecided if I will split it or make it a community tank.
I have baby java ferns attached to wood that still need to grow out and fill the tank more but this is how its looking so far. Its the first ever tank I have owned and decorated

Very cool! Personally, I'm not sure if I would either divide it three ways or keep the betta with a school of white skirt tetras. My advice is research possible tank mates and once you have a few in mind, decide if you would rather have those particular fish or more bettas.

Yeah I will have to keep researching and then decide, thank you

 

[mirp448]

That's a great first tank bettaa9, I love the plants. what is that one floating in the background? I think it looks great with just that betta guy alone haha I prob wouldn't do skirt tetras, they'd be better in a bigger tank and if they're long finned ones the betta could get nippy (or vice versa)

 

[emmjakobsen]

There are four neon tetras and a balloon molly in there... hiding because I turned on the light

 

[flchamp89]

Mine was planted yesterday afternoon. I need fix some things. Nothing special but its a work in progress.

I'm so sorry but I have no idea what it is! It didn't come with a tag saying the name and I can't remember what it said at the shop Hopefully someone else can recognise it and let you know!

I think I will be splitting it and having my two bettas in there I'm too scared to put it with other fish haha

Amazon swords are low light, very easy to take care of.

A little off topic, but here's my 10G that was recently converted to a leopard gecko terrarium after I got rid of the goldfish

It looks great! I really recommend against sand as a substrate for leos though because they could accidentally ingest it and become impacted, or the tiny particles could get in their eyes etc. Maybe consider reptile carpet or tile? Those would look great with that setup

I really like this. What kind of plants?

I really like this. What kind of plants?

-Red Ludwiga (Not so Red right now)
- Two Amazon Swords
- Java Fern
- Pygmy Chain Sword

Honestly I'm not sure what the short one front and center. Currently dealing with a little bit of algae.

[flchamp89]

Like it alot. Is that tiger lotus on left side? Kinda blurry on my phone

 

[Platylover]

My ten now has a lot of duckweed, I'll see about posting an updated photo of the full tank soon.

Yep, love the stuff.

 

[fishandle]

That is a dwarf lily. I also have anubius, jungle val, and hornwort. My peacock gudgeons and ember tetra seem to love it all.

Ahh, figured out why is was so small. Is this better?

 

[flchamp89]

What kind clip lights are those
