Post Re: plants for 10gallon? suggestions?

hi everyone,

what would be a good background plant for a 10gallon. i can't use vals since they grow waaay too tall. i'm trying to find a replacement for my microswords since they're slowly falling apart in the tank. guess they didn't like being in there.

thanks!
Well, I am certainly no expert - but I was told by the people who set me up with my tank, and equipment that anything less then a 33 would be very problematic to plant living plants in later, as the ecosystem is so small - conditions can radically change in mere hours - killing your fish and plants.  One of the reasons I chose a 55 gallon tank, the ability to convert to a planted aqaurium (if not to a Marine system) when I become more experienced...
