So this is my 10 Gallon. Right now I have 3 females and 1 male guppy, a few snails, and a cory that will soon be rehoused in a bigger tank. I just ordered 12 RCS and will be getting them in a week or so. I've had the plants in place without anything on the left side of the tank but the skull (filled with a ball of willow moss that will grow to the skull, and a daughter bulb from my red plant growing out of its nose). Just threw together the foreground rock and driftwood accent...and I'm happy with it...

Which led me to show-off my lil tank

I would be worried about your guppies eating the rcs. They can definitely eat baby ones and can probably eat juvenile rcs as well. A clump of java moss would give the baby rcs a lot better chance of survival. Nice looking tank, btw. thumbs2:

I've thought about the guppies being a problem for the RCS, if there is any issue I'll just be taking the guppies back to the lfs.

As well, its hard to tell but the background is willow moss abount an inch thick, which will provide a lot of protection...like I said though, if there is a problem I'll be returning the guppies.

And thanks guys.

Oh, I didn't see that. The shrimp will be able to eat the microorganisms off of it.thumbs2:

Exactly, provides protection and food. I feel like the rcs will be ok in the tank...we'll see.
