Thanks for the advice! Is there a decent lighting setup for a 10 gal.
that you can recommend? Perhaps I will invest in something more
adequate if necessary.


With the plants Altum recommended you should be ok for now. I have a
24-inch 20 watt fluorescent tube on a 15 gallon aquarium and Crypts,
Anubias and Java moss do ok. Mind you, this aquarium gets some indirect
daylight too.

There's not too much point in investing a lot of dough in a 10-gallon
unless you have severe space constraints. A bigger aquarium with
home-made lighting might be the next step .
