Good looking tank! Keep us updated with lots of pictures! I am starting a ten gallon at the moment. Hopefully I can get it looking good too

If you are looking for some rocks, i've found out that just getting some out of a local river works good after you clean them. And the best part is, they're free! Also, a nice piece of driftwood can be found at some Petsmarts. I know the one near me does.

Good luck on your tank!

Excellent start! However, the tank will be too small for the angels eventually. If you don't have a bigger tank to move them to(where they will grow into stunning showpieces) then I'd reccomend looking for something else.

Doesn't look like a 10g seems bigger

Are you planning any kind of foreground plant?

Looks like you're off to a good start!

My recommendations:

Let the crypts get a little larger.

Try to get bushier bunches of stem plants by cutting off the tops and replanting the tops next to the rooted portions.

Take out the val... it will get too large for your tank eventually.

A foreground plant... Marsilea quadrifolia, Java moss are good options.

Looks pretty nice. The Jungle Val will get much too big for your tank and it will try to overtake the tank. Good driftwood can be found on ebay, rocks try your own backyard . I live on an old floodplain so rocks are easy to come by, just go pick the fields. I can't driftwood or rocks from the river where its close to us though , oil spill up stream of us a few years ago. Lots of rivers around though. Post another picture when it fills in more.

Alright, first off the angels are or were in here to treat their nipped fins when i bought them. Once i get my 45 gallon planted some more and its estabished ill move the angelfish to that tank.

A foreground plant, i dont have any ideas for one now but maybe ill order one when it gets a little warmer. tsunami, i did a google search for Marsilea quadrifolia and it looks like its a floating fern or somesort called water shamrock. Maybe its not what you meant?

The val will be moved to the 45g once plant growth gets a little better in the tank. The val hasnt been growing much anyways. And for the crypts, they are growing in well and should look nice once they get more 'bushy'. As for the rotala indica, its not doing very well in the tank and seems to be just hanging in there along as the ludwig. So these plants may be implemented for something else later on.

So when the tank fills in some ill update with some more pics.

Updated Picture -



Ive redid the tank, took out a few plants and put a pair of kribs in the tank. The angels went into my 45g Tall tank.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

I'm definitely not a fan of the pots. I would try obtaining some wood with crevices.

As for the plants, they do seem like they need a bit of a pick me up. At this point, I would worry more about getting healthy growth out of the plants you have rather than aquascaping/repositioning plants throughout the tank.

I don't see any mention of using CO2 in your original post. Are you using it?
