Looks nice, and looks small for a 10g. Not sure on your plant options, i'd keep it the way it is.

well its an acrylic tank i bought from my lfs i dont now the brand..it was 34$.its a little more deep than the standar 10 gal glass and a little more tall.i have better pics of that tank but im waitting for the new camera to see what i can do.the fish are more than 1.5 inch big so i think they make the tank to look small too.
thanks.

It's a pretty tank. It sounds closer to a cube than a standard 10, is that right? I think it will look bigger in the picture if you back up a little when you take the shot.

Awesome. The limited number of plant species looks great.

I like where you're going with this. It is very nature aquarium to me as it resembles large trees growing through a sea of grasses (riccia). I don't think the background does much to reinforce this. Additionally, the anubias nana midground is almost lost.

I would suggest to add Cryptocoryne retrospiralis to the background. I think they would help to emphasize the riccia tree. I would also thicken the anubias midground with a few more. Finally, you may want to add some red contrasting color to highlight the focal point more.
