First off - I want a verification. Is this a pondsnail?? It grew to about the size of a fingernail - I haven't seen any of the other snails I had grow that big, I guess it's because it's in the 15 gallon and it has more growing room? At least the 15 gallon hasn't had any snail infestation at the same scale as the smaller ones... this one only has had 5 or less through it's time. Hopefully it stays that way.
Now for the fun part. I redid one of my 5 gallons yesterday, and this is what it looked like.
Then after taking some WaterSprite from the 15 gallon, and buying some more plants today, this is what it looks like. I was thinking of using baby dwarf tears to cover the entire bottom toward the front, and dwarf hairgrass in the empty spots toward the side and back. Does this sound feasible with 2.6 WPG, and using Flourish, and a DIY CO2 system? (still have to work out the recipe, I'll probably search for one for a 5 gallon tonight) I may add a bit more Italian Val toward the back also, haven't quite decided yet.
This is the 10 gallon, haven't decided yet, but I may get a dwarf gourami to put in here after I rehome my guppies tomorrow, or I may just wait till I get the bigger tank. I moved the peppered cories and emerald catfish here, until I can get a 75 gallon (yeah, I saw the difference between the 55 gallon and 75 gallon tanks at an LFS today, and forget the 55, i'm going for a 75, especially at the price I saw mentioned above somewhere). These are all fake plants, and there's a small watersprite plant in here (it was easier to keep down using gravel, as opposed to the finer stuff in my other 2 tanks).
And finally - the current big kahuna. I think it's a bit too busy on the left-hand corner, next to the aponogetons. Too much Water Sprite. I'll probably pull some more out in the next water change, and add it to either the 5 gallon, or the 10 gallon. I was thinking of using Dwarf Hairgrass here to cover foreground, and some chunks toward the back.
