Well, this is my first planted tank... I decided to start small, and the only current resident is a little crowntail betta called Phoenix. I plan on putting platies in there after the tank has cycled, which I'm still studying. I haven't even started yet. Anyway, here:

Substrate: Pea gravel.
Light: 50 watts
Plants: Jungle Vallisneria, Water Wisteria, Java Ferns, & Hornwort.
co2: None.
Goal: To have the plants reproduce and get some java moss! Looking for a close buy and a cheap price. Well actually, I'm only looking for someplace close because the way I see it, farther away = higher price.

What do you think? BTW, the brown thing at the bottom is indian almond leaf.

Nice, but think you could do with some more plants

Yup, that's what I'm looking for. Some java moss for the rocks or riccia maybe, and then a long background plant.. but it'll look a lot better when the plants start filling out, I already have a whole ton of java fern babies ready. Well, not ready to pick... but I don't know when to pick?

I changed the layout today and put some more rocks in, letting the dust settle before I put Phoenix back in. I don't have pictures ATM. I also added a cheap background, it's just construction paper but IMO it looks good.

Well, here it is. I do need some good tall plants. What do you suggest?? Prefferably something that can grow without co2, but I do have a bubbler - just I don't know how co2 works.

I was thinking of some sword plants, whatg do you guys think? Would it look good?
