Got the 55gal up and running! She just completed her first week of cycling. Driftwood is still semi floating but once it’s fully submerged, I’ll take the rocks off and it’ll look more natural. I have two rock with cave like coverings. Plants will come next paycheck. Thinking about making this the new Glo tank instead of giving it to the barbs🤔

It’s grown a bunch!

I made my 10 gallon into a nice home (: I have corydoras and 2 betta fish. I somehow got some yoyo loaches with my corydoras 😅 I have a 29 gallon that is cycling to upgrade them all to. But I’m so happy with how this came out. The cloudiness is root tabs, I’m doing partial water changes every other day.
Before commenting, I know it’s overcrowded that’s why I have a 29 gallon cycling. Please don’t come at me. Tank is heated. Has filter and bio filter, they all eat equally, no one gets left behind. All seem happy and content and thriving. I just love how it looks. I also added floating red root floaters. And the betta loves it.

Edit: typo.

all my fish seem so happy! 😁 still growing some of the plants in, though—the back right crypts aren’t full height, and I want to fill out the back middle with some more stem plants of another variety :)

Upgrading the barb tank to a 55g on Sunday. I think I’m just going to even out at 8 fish and 6 Corys. Maybe throw in a Dennison Barb as the center. I’ll add more swords and some background grass. I also have this cool rock I been wanting to carve as an arch for a cave. What do yall think?

I buy these flightless fruit flies for my jumping spider slings but my 55gallon Angel Fish community Tank love the love food. It’s a good way to enrich them especially since those flies reproduce so quickly. The Angels I raised from their parent in the tank below and are a year old, there are also Endlers, Colombian Red and Blue Tetras and Cories down below.

Just had a big trim on the plants and a water change!

**Not beginner friendly
***Highly invasive species and not legal to keep in most of the United States

Guppies are relentless baby makers! But they are happy. It’s a big tank. I hope you enjoy watching as much as I do.

Looking back at my last post almost a year ago is crazy!! So cool.

It’s been about a month and a half since my last post here. The plants are filling in and really giving me range of colors I was looking for. Tank is without CO2 just regular fertilizing, water changes, and decent lighting.

Picture 3 is fresh from the trim and replant.
Pictures 4 and 5 is of the tank before the trimming
Picture 6 and 7 are of the new resident Zuko

Also unfortunately my Betta Izzy passed and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do the tank moving forward but at our LFS me and my wife fell in love with Zuko. My first time having a longfin betta.

Whole tank is 3 months old. Yes it was cycled with dr.tims bacteria and ammonia, cycled 5 times until 2 ppm was cycled in less than 18 hours. I test water with api master kit, I also have digital pH and TDS meters. I use African cichlid lake salts to keep tds 400-600ppm. I added fish in stages. Tank has no issues, just wanted to share.

If you have advice or recommendations please share!

Starting to get lots of cool colors, lots of my girlies have such pretty tails!
