    I know some of you live in the Charlottesville, VA area. I'm setting up a tank in a Pre-school classroom. Just a 10g, but we want a lot of color and plants. I'm bidding on some Aphyocharax rathbuni, and some dwarf cories; the seller is a wonderful guy, but we need plants. If anybody in the area has anything they'd be willing to contribute, please just bring them to Johnson Elementary School, or message me. I'm trying to get the tank set up and planted on Monday, give it a couple of weeks to cycle, then add the fishes.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    What type of lighting will the tank have ? That's a long drive for me now that I live on the other side of the mountain but I can probably mail you some clippings.

    Thanks, Anthony,
    Just a standard 18" fluorescent, but the ambient lighting is wonderful. The tank is on a windowsill with Western exposure; I had a planted 10g in that room two years ago, and it did wonderfully.
    Clippings would be a huge help.
    Thanks again!

    Hey. I'm so sorry I got caught up with work and forgot all about your plants.

    If you can give me an addy I'll ship some out to you tomorrow.
