When I read the title I thought someone was starting a 10 gallon tank to have an oscar fish in.:hmm3grin2orange:

Looking good, I love the look of sand as a substrate.

I'm with Postal on that one, I though for sure I was going to see an oscar stuffed in a 10 gallon. Then I saw the poster and I thought "Noooooo, he's smarter than that. Isn't he???"

I like the simple design. Sometimes simplistic is better than extravagant. Real cool little tank.

[Paleofish]

We all thought he was going to put a oscar in a 10g:14: :hmm3grin2orange:

[bushwhacker]

If manzanita is code for plastic then yes. And I plan on getting the other plants tomorrow and will be updating with pics.

Wow, thats a great plastic replica....it looks real to me :)

[fraggle]

ROFL:hmm3grin2orange: (thanks for that, I needed a laughthumbs2: )

LOL, I thought it was another Oscar in a 10G too!
It looks good mate! And will look even better with the other plants!

[OscarFan]

I went to the lfs today. They didnt have any hairgrass and their anachrias was looking sickly so I didnt get any. I did get some plant weights and a magazine though thumbs2: Ill check at petco hopefully sometime this weekend.

[OscarFan]

I went all over town today and nowhere had the plants I wanted. I did get some lilies for the pond though so it wasnt a complete waste of time. Ill go out on thursday and see if anywhere got anything in yet.

[OscarFan]

Here are a few pics of the tank.

[Oscar_freak12321]

I love him!He looks so grouchy!:hmm3grin2orange:

[OscarFan]

Lol he is. He was in the process of attacking the glass when I went to take a pic.

[OscarFan]

The sand is doing more harm then good so im going to switch to naturaly colored gravel with excess black. Ill post pics when im done.

[labnjab]

Nice looking tankthumbs2:

[troy]

Great tank.thumbs2:

[OscarFan]

Great tank.thumbs2:
thankyou :ssmile:

[OscarFan]

I am very unlucky. Im 99% sure all of my cherry barbs are female :scry: But besides that nothings new. Ive got about half the substrate changed and its looking good.

[OscarFan]

I mad a black background and decided to go with leaf litter as a substrate and ditch the dwarf hair grass. Im still gonna get some anachrias 1 bunch for the bottom and some to float on the top.

[OscarFan]

I added some leaf litter and the cherry barbs love them.

[OscarFan]

I took lots of pics but only got 2 uploaded so heres a fts

[iZinedane]

i thought the same!! looks great so far! thumbs2:

we thought the same too :hmm3grin2orange:

[wolf_eyes]

You can usually tell the difference between male and female cherries at the store. The males almost look like a different species because that are such a flaming red. Even when they're at a not so good place like petsmart i can easily tell the difference. Females aren't bad though :)
[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]
this is how a male will normally look at the store, I've seen some even brighter than this.

[OscarFan]

I saw a couple males at the store, Might pick them up. Some of the shapes looked like males and was oping they would be but im not seeing the color.:scry: Also might get some shrimp or something of that variety.

[Owlbehere]

Anything new?

[OscarFan]

Anything new?
Nothing new Ive been looking for Anachrias but this town is dry for plants. And ive been more busy looking for a good deal on a larger tank.

[Goodbye]

Excellent Tank, Oscar! Cherry Barbs are a great choice!
