10g Stocking

[Onion01]

Well, I am in a weird situation. I always give advice when people ask what to stock small tanks with, but I drew a blank when thinking for myself. I was given a little 10g by a friend, and decided to make a little planted tank. I tried that with my 75g, but it was too much of a hassle with that many plants. This is going to be a low maintainance, bunch-of-plants, pretty tank to go in my kitchen.

This is what is going in for sure...

ghost shrimps
cherry shrimps
amano shrimps
bamboo shrimps

I want a fish that will do fine in a setup, as well as plants that will do fine. This tank will be run by a single air-stone, so nothing too complicated please. Thanks guys

Oh, and any suggestions for cool-looking, grassy plants?

endlers or mosquito fish for your fish. dwarf onion grass for the plants

no no no no....this is MFK...you need ONE big red claw cray or an electric blue. They are a blast to watch and don't normally bother plants.

How about some moss balls for the shrimp? they love them... and possibly some fire red dwarf gouramies... they are awesome, if not neon or cardinal tetras always add some color.
