    Default 10 gallon guppy tank

    this is my 10gallon
    ignore the heater and algae
    the tank has been running for about a year
    i planted it a week or two ago with Echinodorus tenellus, Anubias nana, and i think Anubias Lanceolata? plus the hornwort and duckweed that was already in the tank.
    so far its just guppies and snails but i plan on putting in some otos or a small bristlenose

    lighting: 2 13W spiral cfls in a standard canopy
    filter: aquaclear jr. with sponge filter over the intake
    no co2 (but i might make a new diy setup)

    That's a lovely and natural-looking tank. I think otos will love it. (I love otos; they're among my favourite fish)

    i really miss having Echinodorus tenellus in my main tank

    as for the Anubias Lanceolata, it may be an amazon sword. Lanceolata often only grows a few new leaves a year, so likely it is not it. If you do get a bristlenose, they do love to munch on the echinodorus species. I much prefer ottos over Bristlenose, as BNs can be destructive to foreground plants. Especially zebra ottos, i really need to get some of them...

    Your heater may be able to fit behind the tall plant to make it less noticeable as well

    im sure it is an anubias species and there are two main plants and three divisions so that could be why it looks big, they were originally going to go into my main tank a year ago but i had to get rid of my tinfoil barbs first but that never happened

    i was a little worried about burning the plants with it, do you think that would be an issue? and my sponge filter is there so there might not be enough space anyway.

    since its such a small heater i strongly doubt it will, you can always keep a close eye on it to see if it affects the leaves around the heater
