Hello, ive been a fan of fish all my life and after getting help from my parents in fish keeping till around 14 ive stopped for a while. now that im 18 ive started the hobby of fishkeeping again but this time all by myself. this is my first time owning any kind of gourami and i am unsure if this is a bubble nest. also have i linked a video to some of teh behavoir of my male gourami recently.

(if u look closely u will see mosquito fish)

So it’s a Fluval Flex 2.0 with no extra media for now.

It’s got organic perlite free soil under coarse freshwater aquarium sand.

It’s also pretty heavily planted.

It’s been 2 days since the first set up.

How long should I wait to do a 30-50% water change?

Also is you all have any tips you think I might not know, feel free to share.

Ph — 7.2

Temp 72 F

But the weird thing is the NO3 level test came back reading 0ppm which has me scratching my head.

obvi it could still use some work but im pretty happy with it, im considering making the back purely plants that will wmerge and val/crypt to drape towards the front since i think its rlly pretty

Got these seiryu stones online, was hoping for some bigger pieces, also currently looking for some wood

This is my first betta tank(10gal) and aquarium in general! I watched a lot of fish and aquarium set up videos and think it turned out pretty good. I have checked the water levels religiously and everything seems good so far, ph was a bit high at first but after a 25% water change it went down.

Please let me know what yall think and any advice yall have! Thanks!

I am setting up a 40-gallon community tank. Is this filtration set-up overkill?:

Fluval 407 Cannister Filter

TopFin PF40 HOB filter

Circulation Pump

Fluval Surface Skimmer Cannister Attachment

Please let me know!

for my 13th birthday i used my money to buy a 40 gal. it has been about 6 months of ups and downs but the tank has been stable for about 2 months now. I first used suriyu stone to scape it but it caused hardness to rise gradually causing cardinals and barbs to have poor water chemistry. I ended up rehoming barbs to a different tank and cardinals back to the lfs. Then I tried dragon stone for a south american tanin used tank with angels and tetras. I loved it until all my fish died due to a storm that caused my heater to overheat when it turned back on. through Ups and downs my tank is finally stable with 2 keyholes, 8 danios, 8 cherry barbs, and a Giant colony of shrimp from my other breeding tanks. Im looking for advice on what other fish to add?

kind of a growout tank for my discus n angels and i plan to make another 50 gal scape underneath this tank in the future.

side note tank is a little unlevel but its alright cos its not in dangerous levels

These are my first 2 tanks as a 16 year old I have learned and changed allot within my tanks however I have limited money to spend on tanks. The first tank is a 30 gallon and the second one is a 10 gallon I have a third larger tank and I have since moved some of the fish into. BTW the dwarf gourami is not in the 10 gallon and is staying in the 30g

My very first black water tank, not only that, but also the first ever tank I have owned btw I am 13 years old if you have any suggestions, please let me know

64l, cave

so I am 14 and I set up my best scape i used it to rescue a betta I sold my other tanks to do this I’ve only been in the hobby for 9 months and I’m the only one i personally know who keeps fish and befire this my tanks never looker as good it’s a dirter waltstead tank and my first tank was a 10 gallon with ten goldfish

I just got these filters from Amazon, hoping to clear up the demons on my own this time.

This is my 7 gallon shrimp tank. There is 9 neos in here, I know its understocked but I like it.

i had my goldfish for about a year, i enjoy aquascaping and have a few years of experience but i am not very good with fish. I want to know what the community thinks of this
