My 29 gallon today

 

[JLAquatics]

Despite a 5 day power outage in my area a few days back, both my tanks continue doing well including the plants and fish. Both tanks have changed some since the last update so I figured I would post an update set of photos here to celebrate their survival against the excruciating power outage.

33g needs a little attention.

Moved the plants & wood around, added Some of my dragon stone and done water a change(still looks cloudy). Awaiting for some rotala for the background to be delivered. looks slightly better until I can do a better re-scape.

Very nice. Just a tip - I had rummynose tetra in with my angelfish - they started fin nipping him so had to rehome them. They were together for about six months before they started.

This is just beautiful! Love the layers and placement of all the rocks and plants. Well done!
Beginnings of another 20 gallon. Added 4 new plants today.

My messy, jungle-like 37 gallon Betta sorority tank

50 after planting vals and chopping

 

[NeonTetraMX]

29 gallon with 2 dwarf gouramis, 7 neon tetras, 3 neon rainbows and a lot of orange neocaridina shrimp (I just bought 5 of them about a year ago). Hardscape is primarily Malaysian driftwood, to which java fern, java moss and anubius have been attached. Ludwigia repens is being used as a floating plant. It's running an Aquaclear hob filter, Fluval E100 heater and Finnex Stingray lighting with an inline Nicrew dimmer/timer. Very happy with it!

 

[HummingbirdNSabath]

Here my 32 1/2 gallon and 2 1/2 gallon!

 

[MacZ]

Some new material from my Nannostomus species tank. I have fallen for these little underwater hummingbirds.

This is how you camouflage.

These three: This it is not.
Overview

And more detail on the emersed plants.

 

[sairving]

I've been really happy with my tank lately. I had to remove a few leaves from the aponogeton, the dwarf aquarium lily has good growth, and the water sprite has really taken off this week. Every week I scoop out a handful or two of floating plants. Algae hasn't been a too much of a problem since I accidentally introduced hitchhiking bladder snails.

I was worried because the tank was neglected for a bit (family emergency will do that).

 

[WRWAquarium]

Took some pics today of my 44 and 24.

 

[wrs2]

My current favorite scape!
It only has 1 Florida flag fish in it. It had a Plakat betta, but I think the flagfish attacked it.

I was thinking if putting the flag fish in a different tank and getting a honey Gourami for here, though I never have luck with them so maybe a dwarf Gourami? I’ve never kept a male dwarf Gourami before. Or maybe a few dwarf platy?? Who knows.

 

[Fishfriendof315]

Nothing this weekend. Just took some time to pet, play, kiss the fish.

 

[Bwood22]

I need more Haps. I'm missing an Otopharynx Tetrastigma and a Jalo Reef. Maybe soon.

I'm about ready to give up on that Glossostigma.

Gorgeous tank! Redecorating my betta tank and I'm looking for hard water column feeders with a splash of color. Are those tiger lillies on the right bottom corner?

Do you use CO2? Red plants in my tanks are now more an olive camouflage color,
I will give up...

I don't use co2 just co ops easy green. But then again my tank is heavily stocked with green aquatic plants like anubias, Java ferns and moss balls. I read somewhere red plants might need co2 or possibly iron added to tank. They are so gorgeous and definitely adds color to tank. I wish annubias came in different colors other than green cause they are so hearty lol

Thanks
And yes, those are lilies. I keep it trimmed down and don't let any reach the surface.

No, everything I plant is supposed to be low tech. But since then I've read that glosso can be hard to grow as a carpet plant. I use liquid fert now and then.

They are so pretty! Maybe that's the plant I will get for splash of color. I didn't know you could place them on the floor like that. Is your tap water hard?

Those things grow like weeds for me.
I've pushed them partially into the substrate and also wedged the bulbs between rocks. One grew from a sprout.

My well water is not very hard for some reason. Adding the scape lowered even more. To the point it is almost considered soft. 100ppm GH if I remember correctly.

Wow ya my water is pretty hard don't know how they would do. I have a few Aponogetons and they grew like weeds overnight, it was astonishing! I may give it a shot, I believe my LFS sells tiger lilies. I once bought the topfin bulbs and it says it comes with a water lilly and twice I didn't get water lilly bulbs which was strange. I love the color of tiger lilies, it has a nice color, especially cause ally plants are green lol.

Today

 

[JLAquatics]

Hey everyone! It has been a very busy couple of weeks for me, but I figured I would post an update to my tanks on this thread. Despite many unfortunate things happening to the tanks these past couple of months, I have managed to maintain the peace within both my current aquariums.

The 29 gallon is continuing to recover after my last update post about treating a nasty Columnaris infection. Plant growth has almost picked back up to what the tank looked like before the rescape.








Additionally, the three remaining Honey Gouramis are doing great as well, this blurry shot was the best one I could get with all three fish together.




This is the updated pic of the 10 gallon aquascape. Not much has changed in this tank other than the fact I have to trim this tank weekly or else it becomes ridiculously overgrown.


The resident Ember Tetras are still doing well in the 10 gallon. They have all gained color, weight, and size.


PS: I am creating a third tank very soon friends. I chose a more vertical tank this time due to the challenges associated with designing such a tank. I will be sharing the process once I get all the materials I need for the tank, I am quite excited to make another slice of nature.

Not that I could possibly speak for PAcanis but my water is decently hard here in Michigan. I have a Tiger Lotus bulb currently in the 29 gallon aquascape (images above) and it grows very well for me. I have also grown Dwarf Lilies before as well to decent success. You should definitely give it a try! I would also recommend adding a root tab directly under the bulb to ensure you get really nice thick growth and healthy roots.

 

[Magua]

7.5 galling cube with Rally the betta and his new nerite buddy Hoover. I swear I rescape this tank once a month. LOL!

I saw MD Fish Tanks on YT build something in a cube a few days ago that I'm still marveling at in my head. Not heavily planted, but the way he raised the bottom to create what he was going for was a piece of architectural engineering. Like a mountain in a tank.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with going vertical

 

[John58ford]

Haven't put anything up in a while, the jungle 29 is still fighting balance since it's big trim back in June but it's getting closer:


An actual planted (and yes crowded) shell dweller tank, anubias and crypt love the tang water, anubias blooming again:

And the 3d tank doing it's thing with the snail apocalypse:

One of these fish don’t look like the others! One of these fish don’t belong.
Hard to get all in focus.

I like the original Discus best out of the five. All look healthy & great.

This tank is going to give me something to do instead of mowing the yard...
Those two plants, the water sprite and the unknown, are growing like wildfire.

 

[Halloween]

So in august, a month ago, I posted this picture of our 11 gallon tank:






Since then the plants have TAKEN OVER!





This isn't even the most recent photo actually, because the surface right now is 80% covered with duckweed.

Here's my 30 gallon walstad, my obsession tank.

 

[PAcanis]

I'm seeing Glossostigma sprouts poking up through the substrate.
I can only hope they grow faster than my one Flame Gourami keeps pulling them out.

 

[Kanti113]

Still filling in a few spots to my 120ltr.
Getting a few dragonstone rocks next week.
Plan is to plant up one-side a bit more and have the micro sword fill in the edges around the front. Ive hidden a clay pot under the logs with a hole cut in the side and hidden behind plants that my apistogramma loves to sleep in.
Sorry it's only lit one side, I'm using a 30cm full spectrum led ($20 off ebay). It does give fish a place to retreat away from full light though.

The left side I've planted some milfoil for a quick coverage, With a small slate rock behind the 2nd clay pot (mainly for the rams if I get a male, hoping I can get a black or black blue)
Thinking of using the dragon stone along the left side to fill in.. and maybe some smaller plants just to fill gaps, still not sure what one I should use..

Seems I've done mainly American but with the one exception.

Tanks inhabits.
1 red dwarf gourami
1 German blue ram
1 double red cacatouides
5 lemon tetra
4 albino corydora
2 bristlenose.

With plans to either add a male ram or female double red
Also once I have enough of an established ground cover or hidey holes some of my excess cherry shrimp from my shrimp jarquarium..

My little 5G tank. No fish yet.

Jesus that's amazing!

 

[MacZ]

My little 5G tank. No fish yet.

Get the anubias out of the substrate and also put that seedpod on top of the substrate as well. Both will rot (in a bad way) otherwise.
5 gallon is a bit too small to keep any fish but a single betta.
