20 gallon pea puffer tank with some otos and a panda garra.

 

[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..

Added seiryu stone around clay pot for a cave.

That's so cool!!

My 30 gallon low-tech nature style aquascape. Cranked up the light in order to take a picture; normally the light is dim, making the tank blend nicely with its surroundings.

 

[PAcanis]

I'm really liking the extra wattage of the new light in this tank.

 

[WRWAquarium]

My pretty new rio 300, 4ft long

Nice tank. What's the name of the plant (the one with the rhizome) in the middle on the driftwood?

I hadn‘t really heard about aquascaping until I joined this forum‚ this is the tank I put together without that knowledge. I might try to re-model my tank at some point (hubby allowing)

New version, cleaned up, my harlequins are having a blast now they have free space to do a full circle around the tank

 

[Woodentop]

After much hard work. Still trying to hide the filter.

Show off your tank

HI all

I'm sure there is a place for this, however I couldn't find it. I would love to see pictures of all of your tanks, looking for ideas to remodel mine and include more real plants! Please share yours below to give me ideas . Here's mine, small and basic but does the job! I am also waiting for auction pads to sort the air stone tubing it won't be left like that!

Not really “showing off” my tank since it’s still in progress while I wait for these plants to grow. but this is my 5 gallon tank for my ADF’s and I think it looks good.

This is my 10 gallon betta tank all just for him. It is a little bare, I know but I’m waiting for all of that pearl weed to take over and it will look so good. I think it’s good

Guess i will participate since i have some new
pics. One of my 29g's:

MD fish tanks is an awesome YouTube channel that I use to design my tanks after! He does step by step build videos and it’s so fun to watch!
I recently set up a 75 gallon and redid my 10 gallon using ideas from his videos! (Still waiting on new lighting for the 10 gallon)

Hah ! I thought it was just me that did things like that !! Don’t worry I was just curious with it being two colours .

Mollie tank. Not much in it right now, but it’s pretty Low maintenance aside from feeding.

29g platy tank today, after very thorough vac, rearrange, heater replacement and adding an albino bn pleco.

Since Halloween is getting close, I dug out my "Jason Mask rock" from the storage bin. It's an 11 pound Limestone rock I bought from a nearby rockyard several years ago . Added it to the 120 g.
hardscape. I can't believe how much it looks like a hockey mask.

Nice tank. What's the name of the plant (the one with the rhizome) in the middle on the driftwood?.. i picked it up established in a bulk pack online

It's an Anubis plant..

 

[ruud]

Sorry, not an image of a complete tank (I would love to but I can barely turn myself in my cave room, let alone make a decent picture of my tanks).

Just a zoom in of my caridina tank, where the living take care of the dead.

 

[sairving]

Here's the 10 gallon I setup at the end of September.My phone did something weird. The driftwood is leaching tannins but the water isn't that brown right now.

 

[Mii]

My old 20g I just overhauled as it had fallen into disrepair over the years and basically been abandoned. Currently just 4 black neons but will get more once it's cycled (Clock to view full size)

Salvinia
Anubias
Java Fern
Java Fern Trident
Java Moss
4x Bleon tetras

 

[John58ford]

Been a while since I did some show off your tank action. This one still hasn't recovered from the big plant pulling I did in June but it's getting better.

I think I damaged the middle swords roots worse than I thought while pulling out the larger crypts. It should be back up to height (was about 15" tall) by the new year though I would hope.

And our it's looking like this one is finally starting to carpet out again, dwarf chain sword is hard to get "just right":

 

[PAcanis]

2.1g fry tank



There'd better not be any more fry

 

[LadfromLondon]

312L 82G US approx) Low Iron Rimless. Beneath it is a 250L sump. Slightly under 560L total volume. Double Island non-planted Rift Lake tank!

Good start, what exactly are you planning?

 

[LadfromLondon]

Just a few peas/haps and some OBs. Maybe some Synodontis Petricola too. Hoping to build the same setup opposite for Mbuna, with a lot more rock work.

With the rockwork right now I would probably only stock some open water haps (e.g. Copadichromis sp.), some sand sifters (Lethrinops sp.) and maybe, as they live symbiotic with the sifters, some Cyrtocara moorii and be done. The tank is not suitable for peacocks, Mbuna or Synodontis as is.

I'm scared to ever try a Moorii again. The one I had was a straight up murdering ****. He killed my mdoka white-lips before I could get him rehomed and he was trying real hard to add my star sapphire to the list

Compare all three species and tell me what you notice about their appearance. C. moorii can be really territorial with "their" sandsifter and then species that look close enough probably have a target on their foreheads. Never had problems with C. moorii at all and we had some specimens in our display tanks for quite a while.

 

[PAcanis]

I still have some fiddling around to do, but it's a start.

 

[MacZ]

Lately I took the opportunity that the early morning autumn sun hits my tank for about 45 min a day, if I have the blinds open. So I took the opportunity for a shoot.



And today I took that jungle shot.

None of my other blue fish have been homicidal. There is definitely a pecking order. And some chasing. But no murder sprees.
Still, it is just one fish. Which makes it anecdotal. I've seen a lot of threads about Moorii being killers, but again, anecdotal. I know every fish is different.
I wish I hadn't gotten him though. The white lips was a beautiful fish

 

[ForBettaorForWorse]

Wow these are all amazing!
I'd take pictures of mine, but one is nothing, the other has a fry net completely destroying it, and the last is about to get gutted and redone so it's a mess

 

[PAcanis]

I *planted* my blackwater yesterday.
Picture before I start getting too much reflection.

Well the aponogeton died off so I rescaped the 25g with some rocks and anubias.

I can keep these fish together right?
