i have a 10 gallon tank, waiting to be filled, i will have it filled with water and using my 10 gallon filter (for right now, probably will upgrade to a 20 gallon filter later)
and i will cycle by using bio-spira, which should automatically cycle the tank within seconds.... i will have natural gravel, along with natural rocks all clean and ready to go, i want this to be 100% real plants and heavily planted, it is for 3 of my puffers whom i will be breeding.....

i have a hood with two flourasent 25 watt bulbs that encourage plant growth, so i think that is plenty of light (50 watts for 10 gallons / 5 wpg)

what kind of plants should i order, i will be placing a amazon sword, micro sword grass........but what else???.....any cool plants i can order online that will fit well in 10 gallons and work well with puffers??......

have any links to hook me up with? :D

please spread your suggestions as i will be reading them every day....

thanks for your help!
 
Hi m8 - swords are root feeders so you will need root tabs in your gravel and mind which swords you buy, some are real tank busters lol (been there done that lol)
As to which plants to buy, that would be up to you and the look you want,you lighting would be well up to most plants but could be a little much for java ferns and the like.
This is a good link to look through to get ideas on plants and their needs
