Default 10 gal suggestions on how to?

Well, I hve a 10 gal tank that I want to try aquascaping with. Im not looking for anything fancy or anything, I just want to make it look nice and simple. I have Taiwan Moss right now and microsword plant. Like I said I want something simple. Keep in mind its only a 10 gal tank so I dont have much to work with... Oh and Im keeping fancy guppies in there.

My plan is to just put some rocks in the middle of the tank surrounded by taiwan moss and go from there...

Hmm, i have a 10 gal tank in my collection as well. They have good dimensions to work with IMO. But anyway, some other plant species you might consider adding are: anubias nana, anubias nana petite, dwarf sagiteria, downoi, crypts, some rotalla rotundifolia, wisteria, even some glosso/HC if you are up to it.

If you are planning to add rocks just make sure that they are rocks that wont change the parameters in your tank, for example, don’t buy limestone rocks or those red porous rocks they sell in the pet stores.

Simple tanks can be fun, but it can be rather nice to have a variety of plants in your tank vs. just 1 kind.
