Show off your Fish tanks & fish!

Been fighting a tank crash and subsequent bacterial bloom for weeks. First time I've been able to see from the front to the back of the aquarium in a while.

Our 55 gallon community after a 75% WC. Anacharis anyone

Been nearly a year since I started my 75g. Had more plants in the background but my Dg tore them up. Driftwood looks a lot better with the algae on it.

I love looking at all the tanks! My 46 gallon bow front is definitely a work in progress. No fish yet, working on getting RO water filtered so I can get my parameters and cycle where I want them first. (Thanks MacZ and SparkyJones for the encouragement and good advice!) So I am playing right now. I don’t have an artistic eye or talent whatsoever, so it is what it is. I weighed down some of the floating plants, and may get more floaters on Friday in case the ones I weighed down die. If I can keep these alive for any length of time, I will try others. But for now, I’ll be happy with these. I also have a Pothos sitting in a jar of water that I’d like to try once it gets some roots started. (The rocks have been sterilized and I did the vinegar test to see if any fizzled before I put them in there.)

One of the many and certainly not the best looking but my current favorite to watch. I just completely tore down and put together this 10gal I’ve had going for 5+ years. It used to be a dirted tank capped with black and white coarse sand. The dirt had long ago become depleted of nutrients and with the tall crypts and dark substrate it was a very dark tank. With half the plants and natural sand it is much nicer to look at. Hopefully in a few months it will be looking even better.

The 5 java loaches transitioned perfectly 24hrs later and they now love to sift through the finer sand. They also got a new cave half buried in the sand which they quickly found.

Here's the left half of my 125, currently home to two pairs of wild Gnathochromis Permaxillaris and a trio of Alto Compressicep Kagunga.

They were recently moved in together to separate the vegetarians from the omnivores and they seem to do well together.

Little sneak peak, better pictures will follow. 3 Buce are still missing.

2.5 gallon snail tank I just finished, rather proud of it


and a close up:

 

[RSBettas]

My new setup.

Current animal inhabitants:
-4 khuli loaches (inch long at most)
-3 harlequin rasboras
-2 leftover fancy guppies
-2 silver corydoras
-1 mystery snail

Current objects and plants:
-sand
-bioactive ball substrate
-2 large swordtails
-some duckweed
-root tabs
-ball of Christmas moss
-some java moss
-3 lava stones
-1 sponge filter
-1 turned off hang-on-back filter
-1 spider wood
-50W heater

I plan to add some more greenery, but it looks great for now!

 

[Fishnturtleguy933]

Been looking for some inspiration too keep me going in this hobby.
Lets bring this type of thread back on here!
Show off your tanks! Post your planted, not planted, salt, freshwater tanks!
Here's a little of what I'm working with right now

 

[86 ssinit]

Everybody likes pics!

 

[BigManAquatics]

Current versionof the 55

 

[V1K]

Meanwhile, here are mine. 112 L

84 L cory tank, with babies . And lots and lots of hair algae.

And so you don't think all my tanks look so cool, here's a shrimp and fry tank, aka Simba's (my cat's) tank (unlike the fish he couldn't care less about, he likes to watch the shrimp; and drink from it, obviously).

 

[John58ford]

No closed curtains, selective lighting, staging or prepping here. Just what I see everyday when I walk in the front door and turn right. If I stay motivated this will look significantly different next week and end my era of nano-tank obsession.

 

[BigManAquatics]

First version of the 36 bowfront, before livestock.

 

[John58ford]

My largest no-fert planted adventure has begun. I tried to select mostly juvenile plants from my old tanks to start this one since there's so much fresh sand needing to be seasoned up. Should be neat to check back on this 6 months and a year from now.

 

[cdr63corv]

Here is one of my 60 gallons, water is still yellow from recently added driftwood

Before and after of one of my betta tanks- one of the only tanks I took a before photo of haha

Current iteration of the 36 bowfront.

My 15 Flex. My favorite tank at the moment.

 

[Littlebudda]

Here are some pics of the the 330gal now that we are slowly getting on top of things now that the cichlids and sharks are gone. Didn’t notice how green it looks in the photos.
I know it is still a bit of a mess but you should have seen the algae before, we always sing the praises of the pleco and snails etc. but not enough kudos are given to the job guppies do they have gone to town on the brown algae

I know the pics seem a bit repetitive but was trying to get it so you could see the fish as well believe it or not the are currently 25 neon, 15 ember, 15 glowlight, over 25 guppies, 7 BN, 8 mystery snails and 40 RCS and it looks empty.

Here's a 30g bin of hygrophila corymbosa I've been growing

 

[V1K]

Just wanted to point out what an awesome riparium plant a maidenhair fern is. Just look at this ridiculous thing!

When I was choosing what plant to grow emersed, I found mixed opinions about this one, but it really works. For reference, I'm adding the photo of it a year ago, so you can see how much it grown (the current tank is 84 L and the old one was 35 L).

My Roselinasharks celebrating their 5th year.

 

[Littlebudda]

Just laying on the lounge and thought it’s a nice angle. Photos still don’t do it justice

 

[joe919]

I saw them for the first time a couple weeks ago at my LFS. They are so pretty. I’d love to have some but would need a lot more tank lol

Make sure that you have a big enough tank,(my tank is 90 g) and if buy, you should buy at least 6, but more is better, I started with 12 and during the 5 years I lost 4 of them. 1 right after I took them home saw that the fish spine was bent, died the next day, then I lost a couple during the 5y for different reasons, and I lost the 4th a couple of weeks ago, I think of old age .

That’s pretty much the immediate rabbit hole my brain took lol

They are quite expensive 10-20$, I like to buy my fish young to grow in my tank.

Haha, this reminds me of the videos where a large dog squeezes himself into a tiny dog bed! Nice fish. Are they personable?

 

[Greyfernandes]

Oh my gosh everyone's tanks look sick! Awesome setup dude looks super clean.

First pic is my first planted 10 gal, and the others are my 220 gal pond with its first tiger lotus bloom.

 

[Carolyn Johnson]

Haha, this reminds me of the videos where a large dog squeezes himself into a tiny dog bed! Nice fish. Are they personable?

They love to be petted and nibble on my fingers.

I love that pic! What's your stocking in that tank?

What do you mean? I have 20 fish in my tank. 4 Dojo’s, and Cory’s, and some different kinds of fish.

Some new fish in qt.

 

[Redshark1]

Same old tank, same old 29 years old Clown Loaches.

I like em.

 

[Redshark1]

Thanks for the comments and likes its much appreciated.

Biggest one at 12 inches is Anthia (pictured here) and she is the most dominant one so she gets the most food and has grown to become the largest.

I named them after they reached 15 years old and people kept asking their names.

I used my scrabble game and mixed up the letters of their their scientific name Chromobotia macracanthus in a bag and selected them blind until suitable names appeared. That filled a dull evening!

I think they stopped growing at age 25 years. I am really hoping that they make it to 30 years of age next January. When I first came on Fishlore I was aiming for 20 years of age.

 

[John58ford]

It's cooling down outside, time to come back inside and show off some fish tanks.
44 corner tank, n. Multi and inkfin calvus, planted-ish.


29 gallon 3d tank, now as a standalone, just starting to root.

6 foot mess, rooted down and finding a balance.

Tanks look great John! My 90g planted

Young bettas are finally ready to starts selling!
Exciting, though I am a little bummed to see such little color variations
