jumbo-avatar (7).gif Hey Guys,
This is my first post. I have been invited by a member through YouTube to help out on planted tanks. I'm no expert but I'm not a beginner either. Thougt I'd share pictures of my 10 gallon planted tank.

Stats:
Inhabitants:

1 Platy
4 Neon Tetras
2 Otos
4 Bronze Cories
2 Amano Shrimp
2 RCS

*Im planning on getting three more Neons and 1 Oto.

Plants
Sunset Hygro
Tiger Lotus
Jungle Val
Creeping Jenny
Baby Tears
Guppy Grass
Taiwan Moss

Additives:

I have a 2 Liter DIY CO2 (Im gonna hook up another one since one doesn't seem enough to make my plants pearl)
Flora Pride (weekly)


Here are pictures: I got a green water issue last week because the CO2 failed to work and there was excessive nutrients. Without the CO2, the plants won't be able to eat up some of the nutrients.







Sunset Hygro:


Jungel Val


Mystery Plant (can someone ID the plant right in the middle?)


Full Tank Shot"

Very nice. Looks like you have alot of light.
Do you use any fertilizer?
I don't think the sunset plant is aquatic. I could be wrong through.
Your mystery plant might be Eichhornia diversifolia.
I had this plant once and it was growing too fast for my other plants.

Nice setup but they're right. Water's kinda cloudy or it's just the picture? What kind of substate are you using? Thanks for sharing. I might be needing your help one day!

I use a mixture of different fertilizers. The Sunset Hygro is a true aquatic plant. I've had it for a while and have given it away to different people.
The plant is definetelt Eichhornia diverifolia.

Well, the plants have started growing faster with fertilizers. I'm planning on starting another DIY CO2 and increasing my plants to have high lights.
