Nice looking tank!

The peacock fern and the plant in the front of the last photo are not aquatic plants.

Very attractive tank! When the non aquatic plants start to fade (they will melt) you will need to replace them - some hang on longer than others - but you will know when it's time. Love seeing that test tube in that last picture thumbs2: Where are you in your cycling, or have you already completed it? If you want a pretty blue fish you might consider a Betta, it should get along with your Danios and Otto and is an easy fish to keep.

Looks like that last plant may be a gold or white ribbon. Sold by petco and other stores I'm sure. It will rot like others said if that's what it is, but it will be a good few months. If you're looking for something more permanent, you may want to start looking into some other plants. Try some hygrophilia compacta, also sold by petco; it is a broad leaf plant that grows well in low light. Speaking of light, what kind of light are you running on that tank? Lookin' good so far, anyway :22: .

Looks like a nice start, once you get the bog plants removed and replaced you will off and running. You did a nice job arranging your decor.

It's a good start.

You def don't want a johanni in a tank that small. They need a 4' tank minimum and should be kept with other mbuna. It would shred your current fish and your plants as well. There are some bluish strains of platies, or neons/cardinals can add some blue as well. Neons would be better size wise for a 10g than cards.
