Planted Fresh water aquarium

[Paolissimo]

Hi there

i am a salt water aquarium keeper that would like to try a fresh water planted aquarium. I want a small tank, ten gallon the most. I been reading a little about and it looks like the easiest plants are Java Moss, anubias, java vern, jungle val. What i would like to know from people that have planted aquarium is, which substrate, and which rocks i should use and where do i get them. I am a BAS member, and always see tons of plants at the auction but i never paid much attention to them. Are the plants i mentioned above up for grabs regularly? as for fish i have another list of small fish i'l ike to keep together with some shrimps.
Thank you

rock are which ever you like, as far as substrate I like eco complete.
most shrimps are pretty small and don't mix with fish.
maybe small like neons or cardinals

those plant are pretty common, you should see them at our show.

Go to the beach, i stay away from red rocks [i don't remember why ,iron?} pick out what interests you. If it looks solid,good .Still not sure? Put it in a tub with some feeders,if they live you're good .:bow2:, what small fish are you thinking?
