Cheers @Kaiju! That's why I started it, so I could share my journey from the start. All started in my tiny room of my old house with a 10 gal rimless that went pear shaped by the end and taught me A LOT of hard lessons. My move was rushed and didn't set up my office/fish room as efficiently as I wanted as like many of us I have MTS and wanted them up NOW! 🤣 That mistake taught me patience. All good things come to those that PLAN AND WAIT. I also have had a lot of help along the way...big shouts to those in here that have assisted(will prob miss some): @nabokovfan87(literally talked me off a ledge the day after I moved into my new house) @Guppysnail @Lennie @Chick-In-Of-TheSea @Fish Folk @Colu @Odd Duck @TheSwissAquarist amongst others...so thanks y'all! But really, if not for @Dean’s Fishroom & @Cory, their YT tutorials(I CANNOT STRESS HOW BENFICIAL THE ACO YT MEMBERSHIP IS...the ted talks alone are worth it) among a couple other YTers like Prime Time Aquatics, MD Tanks, Fish Shop Matt, Sydney's Angels, Steenfott Aquatics, TN Aquatics that have really taught me. Still a lot to go here in the fish room, but will continue documenting my trials and tribulations so to speak for all to enjoy, but to learn from as well. NEXT WEEK: RO System install & water containment area. This will be the eventual beginnings of an auto water change system that I will design/install at a later date. I have a professional plumber that will be coming to assist me here so I don't accidentally flood this house! LOL! Until next time!!!

Hi everyone ! Super nice to be part of this community! I am looking forward having contact with other fish keepers. I only know one guy (a colleague) who keeps fish, but I would like to meet more people out there. But to tell you the truth, I am new to the hobby ! I have always wanted to have aquariums but I never had, before I moved last summer to the US from Europe. I did a lot of research, watched a lot of videos, read a lot of articles and when I thought I was ready I bought a 36 gallons bowfront aquarium. And I did what beginners do: mistakes ! Tank was cycled for a few weeks (kickstart with used media) and I was ready to add fish. I wanted some tetras to school in the tank, some hardy fishes…. in spite of everything I heard, I don’t know what happened but … I asked advice in one of the big chain pet stores. I ended up with serpae and red eye tetras and created a tank of monsters that don’t stop nipping at each other 😩 I was sad because I wanted to add later Angels or other fishes but no way they could live in there. Anyway, life is made of decisions, and I had to take responsibility. These guys are thriving in there. Tank is planted, some Kuhli loaches, otocinclus and pigmy corys came to join them and this little world is really well balanced. Some nerite snails and ghost shrimp help taking take of it too. But I had this feeling of these fishes not being the ones I wanted, I wanted to make something else … thats how I got multi tank syndrome. I got a 10 gallons and a 5 gallons on second hand. In the 10 gallon I put males endlers + ghost shrimps + mystery snail, then in the 5 gallon just a betta, named Kirby (pink guy) Then I got another 10 gallons, originally for cherry shrimp but that was a complete disaster I spent months trying but I gave up. Now it hosts a school of chili rasboras Latest acquisition is a 20 gallon, still cycling, where I want to put ember tetras and honey gouramis. And this is where I am ! In a condensed (yes 😇) version because there were many adventures (and money spent) within these last months.

Visit to gatorland Tidbits of knowledge- To escape a gator, run straight, not zig zag. To be released by a gator, bonk its nose. A lot of nerves in the nose. Poking eyes doesn’t do anything. The eyes just retract down into the head when they are poked.

This is the last of my original 4 Nerite Snails. I've been considering getting something a little more colorful and active. Until recently she just laid eggs and took long naps lasting up to 2 days. I figured that at 5 years old, her time was coming. Instead, over the last couple of weeks she has put on a growth spurt and become a lot more active. I don't know how or why, but I'm not complaining. The yellow and red colors are new. I'm not up on snail anatomy, but she is definitely showing a lot more skin🙈 than ever before.

Hello! I just wanted to share my recent experience in case it helps anyone setting up a tank with Dwarf Snowball Plecos (L471). I've had the same three dwarf snow ball plecos for around 2.5 years. They were EXTREMELY shy and inactive. They NEVER left their pleco caves, to the point where I worried they weren't eating. I only saw them out maybe 5-10 times in the past 2 years. I did notice that they came out when ALL the room and tank lights were off - only cause I'd catch a glimpse of them running back into their caves when I turned on a light. They did breed once but the hatchings didn't survive sadly. About 2-3 months ago, I got rid of the tank that contained the plecos. I had considered selling them, but instead decided to move them into my main display tank since the parameters were suitable. Immediately after moving them to my main tank, their behaviour completely changed. They're WAY more active now. They come out of their caves at all hours, they explore and forage frequently, they can often be spotted sitting on rocks and drift wood. They especially like sitting on this one rock that's flat and positioned under the outflow of the HOB filter. They're still shy but will now come out at feeding time even when I'm sitting in front of the tank. This is a well-established tank (set up ~2 years prior to writing this). The change in their behaviour is unbelievable and I'm so happy about their improved quality of life, they're so enjoyable to watch now. I wanted to share all the details about their past and current set ups, in case it helps someone designing a set-up for these guys. The bolded text highlights things unique to their new set-up and therefore could explain the change in their behaviour: Size: 35 gallon (15x15x36")* Substrate: CaribSea Super Naturals Premium Aquarium Sand ** Moderately densly planted (Vallisneria sp. Gigantea, duck weed, dwarf sagitarius, java fern, amazon swords, anubias, buce)*** Lighting is moderate, but the pleco caves were placed in the darkest park of the tank Lots of drift wood and rocks around the substrate, creating places for the plecos to hide behind.* Aquaclear 50 HOB filter**** - creates moderate-gentle current, moderate aeration Small pleco caves in a shale rock-arrangment. Co-habitants: red cherry shrimps, snails, honey gouramis, sterbai corys, hill stream loach.***** Feeding: frozen foods (adult brine, blood worms) and sinking pellets (bug bites bottom feeder formula, NLS algaemax or insectum), spirulina flakes Water parameters: pH: 7.4-7.6, Nitrates: 10-20 ppm******, Hardness: 180ppm, Nitrite: 0 ppm, Ammonia: 0 ppm, KH/Buffer: 80 ppm, ~78-81ºF (usually 79ºF) * Their new tank is bigger - particularly in depth and height - with more room for rocks and drift wood that provide cover for them to move around the tank while remaining hidden from view. In a counterintuitive way, I think this makes them more visible since they feel comfortable to come out and are becoming desensitized. Also the tank being taller means that the light is always more dim down near the substrate. ** Older tanks were half Super Naturals Sand and half smooth gravel. I really think they like sand. They dig in the sand and create "dens" and pits to hide in. *** The new tank is more densely planted than previous set-ups, especially with plants near the substrate (buce growing around drift wood and dwarf sagitarius which may provide cover) **** Slightly high turnover than previous set-ups. ***** They share the new tank with bottom dwellers (sterbai cory), which may make them more comfortable. They have never been paired with a co-habitant that bothered/scared them. They were previously with a dwarf pea puffer but he never acknowledged/interacted with the plecos, let alone acted aggressively towards them. If anything, the honey gouramis that the plecos are with now get more up-close and personal with the plecos (not in an aggressive way, just while foraging around the sand). ****** Being a larger tank, nitrates are more stable and tend to be lower than previous set-ups I've had these guys in. There's also always the possibility that this is age-related. They were much smaller when I first got them and they are now full-grown. Anyway, I really hope this post isn't interpreted as smug or braggy. I just want to provide information that could help someone create a comfortable environment for dwarf snow ball plecos, and so that they can enjoy watching these guys in action! Here's a picture of the tank:

Results announced this morning. I took second place. I dedicated this tank to @gjcarewfor his endless support and assistance. The Second Hand of Carew

Gave a long overdue gravel vac's to my snail / least killi nano tank and 3D printed and added some apartments. Someone has already moved in 🙂

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm glad to see all your hard work pay off. It's my birthday today, and this is an amazing birthday present. It's been wonderful to be able to follow your journey, and I really appreciate the gesture. I can't wait to see what you do next year!

I don't think honey gourami is aggressive at all. I have kept many gouramis and so many bettas, and my honey gourami is angelic. Can it be the golds you read about aggression? Because my golds, especially females, are quite aggressive. Ive kept my honey gourami with some other gourami species and bettas in different setups, and if one was aggressive in those tanks, it was never the honey gourami. I wouldn't really compare honey gouramis to bettas if you ask me in terms of temperament. In fact, none of my 11 bettas were similar with each other in terms of character. I know @Guppysnail has many males to a single female ratio as a result of buying a group of juveniles ( like 5m:1f if Im not mistaken), and she has no issues to my knowledge. But ofcourse, if one can choose genders, might be a better idea to go for more females than males. I understand your willingness to read and learn a lot. But I would highly encourage to read/listen the experiences of people you trust, read scientific papers, breeding reports, and learn mainly from these. We also have many friends in the forum that helps us based on their career, like Duck being a vet or Biotope biologist being biologist for example. Their perspective is also always valuable. Internet is great, but all I can say is, not all info one may obtain is good and true sadly. Or a lot of the times, these info lack experience to base it on. This way, these sort of info can be misleading. If I have never kept honey gourami in 4 different setups and not have friends that keep them in groups, I would hesitate to have them thinking the males are aggressive like bettas after reading this statement. I hope you can see my point there

No I have not. My Spixii are troopers. However any that I put in my Apisto and Ram tank died. A lot of the babies I gave to the vendor I wholesale to died in mass. The only thing I can think is the may need my hard water much more than other snails but I am not certain at all. The only other difference is the Spixii seem primarily carnivorous vs other detritus, omnivorous snails. In both my ram and Apisto tanks even the commercial foods I feed are veggie dominant. All of this it totally guessing though. I did see my Spixii eating veggies though. I can tell you since I gave my last few to @Elodie Rose all my fry tanks have exploded in hydra 😝. I have not seen hydra more than 1 here or there since I got my Spixii so I don’t think about them anymore. I texted her a few days ago asking how breeding is going because I need to get babies off her 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great pics bud. If you ask me besides more rounded body shape, I noticed a more pointy or wide head shape between different sexes but Idk which is which. the only exact way for me to say is, under right conditions, male grows those tiny spiky bristles around his nose like a beard while females only start to have a rounder belly carrying eggs Example of a male with bristles ( if that is what they are called, I am not sure) my females and males are all the same color. They look better red when they grow up tho. Also light plays a role I believe. juveniles they may look a bit patchy. Also another possibility is being hybrids if they are adult size Example of a female when I got a group of mine, one had issues growing for real. No deworming worked. It was skinny and very small while others were almost adult age. I had to feed my tank sera baktotabs which is an antibiotic food for other fish. After that, it recovered and increased in size and weight ending up being a healthy adult today like its siblings!

How Snoopy troubleshoots a bloodworm block 😆 Also, Spike has a nice healthy appetite this morning.

Today was the plant auction for the local club here (GSAS). I was able to pick up a bunch of plants for really cheap:

You can't go wrong with a good old classic wooden chest of drawers! There is also this one I found on Amazon. Heavy duty metal frame work and a very strong wooden manufactured wood. Very water resistant and it has the cabinet style doors to hide stuff.

Happy Birthday @gjcarew!

I have been here. 😍

Visited Gatorland today More photos here

Oh thank you that’s a great idea… and also since I am new in the country it might be a great way to meet people. I will definitely check it. i have thought to give them away… I might reconsider if I find people who want them 🙂 thanks for the tips 😉

@Guppysnail Has completely sold me on the idea of getting honey gourami. Now I have got to run and find a new tank 🏃‍♂️😂

Hi.. I’m Laurie- and I admit it- I am absolutely IN LOVE with my Ghost/Glass/Grass/whatever Shrimp. I find them fascinating. I have elderly, adult, teen, toddler and newborns. I began in the hobby many years ago and had a successful Reidi seahorse pair (but it broke my heart when I couldn’t keep the babies alive past 3 months in spite of what I thought were pretty ingenious methods)- then came my babies- which I was thankfully more successful with! But they didn’t allow me much free time. Now, as a grandmother with a bit more time, I decided on a freshwater tank and began mine. After about 3 months, I got some “sacrificial” ghost shrimp at 59 cents each. I didn’t expect them to live long- nor did I think I’d be absolutely captivated by thier transparency and life cycles and personalities. I look forward to reading and learning as much as I can from all of you with your more “respectful” aquariums and thier inhabitants! 😁

I still have the six that you gave me, GuppySnail! They are in a tank with plants, blackworms, and a few least killis. I check for eggs every day. The temp on that tank is 78. There are also half a dozen from the ACLC swap last weekend in another tank, at room temp, with nothing but hornwort and pothos. Both are getting a diet of live foods, frozen foods, and dry foods, small pinches a couple times a day of whatever it is that’s being fed. Grindal worms, brine shrimp, bloodworms, kens protein wafers or veggie wafers, spirulina in several forms, calcium tablets and nano blocks, green repashy, and anything else that gets put into the rotation. Cucumber and green beans happen a time or two a week as well. I’m waiting on some Snello pellets. Until they arrive, I’m just counting on variety to help keep them as healthy as they were when I got them. They’re looking great, and seem active. But I haven’t seen any clutches of eggs yet. The ph in my tanks is pretty high, with a lot of minerals, as well as leaf litter and tannins. I’m trying to learn what they like to eat best, and when they’re most active. They’re beautiful! I’ve been researching them and taking notes. Advice is more than welcome. 🙂

No big whooop, 2 snails added, plants moved. Some mini ultra bio added on account of a nitrite spike. I probably added the guppies too soon but.........

I cringe at (but also envy) the amount of work that must have a taken!!! As for me, the late great Jimmy Buffett put it best when he wrote "any manual labor I've done was purely by mistake"!

i myself would move them all at once, however if the 32 isnt really well established, do a few at a time , every other day or so, so that the bacteria levels can adjust.

Yes. I have kept a bunch of different snails with them. They have a thriving shrimp colony with them. They are so peaceful. Honey gourami are a fish I cannot recommend enough. I adore them and their playful antics.

@Shadow I’m so glad everyone on the forum has been helpful. It’s also nice to have a place to share the wins. One thing I rarely do is watch YouTube. If I can dedicate 30 minutes a day watching every fish and still have extra time I’ll watch a livestream or a video on something I’m interested in learning about fish. Youtube does two very negative things to me. 1- creates more want. I see fish and such I’ve not kept and projects I’ve not done that seem neat and then I feel more want. 2-makes me dissatisfied with my own tanks. Aquascaping videos make me look at tanks I adore and start see all the not great plant areas or things that need improvement and I love the tanks less. Etc. Things like that. So I substitute other aquarists adventures on the forum for all my voyeuristic needs. 🤣 My world would be a much lonelier place without you folks. 🤗

The original thread I found was actually from @Jack.of.all.aquariums back in 2020. He also referenced @Preston John in his posts as possibly being an earlier source? When I came here to post an updated thread (so I didn't resurrect theirs from the dead) I did see yours, but chose to make my own for the questions so it wouldn't get lost in your post. I do use pool filter sand as well, just haven't done so for a while. I prefer the darker colors because the discus and plecos seem to prefer it to be darker. Since the discus get that peppering with the dark substrate, I figured it may be making them more comfortable, like they are hiding better. But since you said the puffers seem to like the light sand better, I'll pick up a pack of it soonish. I do have a 30G replacement coming in this week too. 36" by 12" by 16" rough measurements. I had an old used one without the top trim (but not supposed to be a rimless tank) that did eventually start to leak after about 3 years. It's on the bottom of a 2-level stand, but the bottom part isn't tall enough to hold a full 40G and still leave me room to reach into the tank as needed. So I had to special order the 30G long from my wholesaler to replace the leaking one. It was either the entire replacement for about $60, or buy a replacement trim for $35 and pay $55 for the other company to ship it. Since I'm getting this 30G along with a replacement 125G and three different types of stones for decoration, the shipping will be much cheaper overall for each item. Currently I have L397 plecos in the 30G that is leaking. But since you suggested a 30G for the puffers, I'll split the L397's between two 20Gs and use the 30G for the puffers. Or I may still go with a 55G since I'll have a couple of those empty once the 125G arrives. And I just replied to someone in my last comment that I am too familiar with copepods. And they do like to take over a culture of anything water-borne! I'm using turkey basters today to try and get another pure daphnia culture going without those little buggers! It's my own fault though - the one time I didn't filter the green water in before adding it to the daphnia, and I got copepods all in it. I knew better too! As for the P. Palutris, I don't work with those because they aren't "nice" like Amazon puffers or Spotted Congo puffers. I definitely can not put them in with angelfish or discus. I do have the spotted congo in a tank with bulgarian green seal point angelfish, and they do have a few nips on their fins, but I know it's also from feeding time. Those bloodworm cubes get ripped to shreds by both species of fish, and the puffer will NOT accept someone stealing his share! Otherwise, he just "glass surfs" a lot, or browses the substrate for snails. I have seen a lot of photos of baby puffers in tanks with snails. I am assuming it's okay to raise the two together? The snails obviously won't bother something in the middle of the water column, but I know the puffers will eat them as they grow big enough. And I've got SO MANY pink ramshorns in so many tanks! I could easily add some into a puffer rearing tank to have food ready to go when they grow big enough to eat them. It's interesting to hear about the plants though - that he prefers to breed there. Or maybe the female will only release eggs there, but he drags her there to convince her to release them for him? Very good info! I've got tons of java moss too, but I really like the look of subwassertang anyway. As for buying the paramecium now, I have and raise all kinds of live food cultures for resale as part of my business. The one I'm working very hard on establishing right now is live bloodworms (using a butterfly enclosure to contain the midge flies). So by getting them now I'll have them when I get and breed the puffers, but I'll also be able to reproduce and sell cultures in the meantime. There is also time to experiment with them to make sure I don't screw up and crash the culture, and I can establish a system for raising and harvesting them. Thanks for the help everyone has provided so far. Keep sending information if you think of more!

Of the ones you listed Honey gourami is the only one that does not risk being outcompeted for food by the corydora. The rest are slow eaters in my experience with the exception of the goby. I have zero experience with them. My Honey gourami have all the wet pet personality of a betta. Every morning all of mine come to the glass in their area and touch my finger on the glass with their feelers. Mine each have their own floating betta log they use and love. Mine all eat either from my fingers or a pippette/ coral feeder. Incredibly peaceful and hardy. They are adaptable to not only a wide variety of water parameters but fluctuations in water parameters. rather than being a “centerpiece” that does not interact with me. They are a full on pet that knows me. This makes them the centerpiece as well as they are gorgeous.

I missed that you did 2 full scoops. AE isn’t “beneficial bacteria” in the same way as the beneficials that are part of biofiltration. It’s food for shrimp, but doesn’t benefit the filtration and I have heard of it upsetting the balance on tanks before. So we may have a situation where it’s a combo of factors that came into play. I suspect the move dropped some biofiltration capacity, the substrate change dropped some capacity, the dying leaves from plant transition added bioload, and the AE added bioload and the sum total was too much for the tank to process. You should be OK if you can keep up with water changes and hopefully the added biofiltration bacteria will tip the balance for you in the right direction. Just make sure you have some extra aeration for a while as the new bacteria establish.

Endler fry hanging out in the homemade shrimp cave!

Pics from around the house of fish in the tanks...well and a cherry shrimp lol

Have an empty tank. Have around $80 dollars in plants. Have a plan. Have time today. Heaven achieved.

Hey everyone, I've been interested in the hobby for quite some time, but 2 weeks ago I finally pulled the trigger and set up my first tank. Sadly not much space for a bigger aquarium in my apartment so I had to go with a 12-gallon one. The idea is to create an interesting community-like tank with fish appropriate for the size. So far in the tank: 6x Ember Tetra 6x Pygmy Corydoras I will be also looking to add a betta as the center piece of the aquarium in the near future and that should be the absolute maximum stocking.

Those owls are awesome.... Really beautiful work.

Update: I just finished the first week of treatment with paracleanse. So far, the remaining 2 peppers got a lot more active again but not too active. They do sit down occasionally but not for too long. The other 2 remaining bronze corys seem to have improved a bit. Before treatment though, for a month or so. I saw this weird black spot on the side of a bronze cory’s abdomen, the spot looked like it was inside the bronze, almost like I can see through its stomach, it still has a normal belly, no sunken parts on any of the fish. After treatment, the black spot disappeared completely, no where to be seen. I’m wondering if it was a internal parasite or a blockage of worms, something like that. Breathing is doing better, the bronze that had the black spot is still having a little bit of an issue breathing, but I can see it’s getting better. I can also see the bronze are getting a little more active again, but the black spot bronze usually sits in place, it has a bit of struggle swimming, maybe the possible worms caused a swim bladder issue. It is becoming more active though. Bad news, one neon tetra died. I found it laying upside-down under the cholla wood. It looked like it had died not long ago as it still had color. I did see that its mouth was open which I never saw before. I think it might just have been from the paracleanse, cause I don’t think they take medications too well. Some of the tetras are having some breathing issues and they’ve been having it for about a couple of weeks now. Even before treatment. I also did get a bacterial bloom from the paracleanse but I was expecting it so I added extra prime. But fortunately that’s all the bad news. I also think it’s worth mentioning that I have treated them for paracleanse before I started this topic, but I used the prevention treatment from co op instead of the actual treatment. So I think that’s why they didn’t show much effect from the treatment.

Sorry for causing any confusion. I did notice that with my honey gourami the male has a pointier dorsal fin, but it could be a coincidence. My LFS sold them as 'Gold' Honey Gourami. They also had 'Sunset' Honey Gourami, which were more red in color and lacked the white on the bottom. The pictures of the sunset honey gourami you added do look very similar to mine though, so maybe they go by different common names in different places. Again, sorry to cause any confusion and the Honey Gourami is a great fish!

That pointy fin sadly dont work for all gouramis. Works for some like golds, pearls, dwarfs. But does not work for some others like honey gourami or sparkling. Rounded body/belly is very common for many female fish so that is still valid. If I am not mistaken the male picture you shared is the male of a wild type honey gourami. The ones you have in your picture are the "sunset" version. Sunset type Honey gourami m/f (f on left, m on right) m breeding dress: Wild type Honey gourami m/f

Nice! Love me a tardigrade. Actually want one of those shirts that says: ”you may not like it, but this is peak form” with a pic of a tardigrade on it

It just doesn’t get more canary yellow than this. The photo is courtesy of Dans fish.

If you end up with a pair, like what I have, you want a male and a female ideally, but if you don't plan to breed them it shouldn't be a big of deal. I think I have a male and a female but I am not 100% sure. When I first got them both were less colored, almost white, and both had a black lateral line that is no longer visible. I think the reason they looked different when I first got them is because they were young, but it could also be because they were stressed at the fish store. The female one did have the lateral line a lot longer than the male. I am not sure of the male to female ratio if you have more than a pair, but again, it shouldn't really matter if you aren't trying to breed them. The picture above is my fish. I think the bottom one is male and the top one female. At one point my male got breeding coloration, which looks like this: This image below is a dwarf gourami but especially the pointed vs rounded fin applies to the honey gourami. I'd like to say that I was able to tell the gender at the fish store but I think I just got lucky because it's really hard when they are young. As for some being white, there are 3 main different types of honey gourami: Gold Honey Gourami: The yellow kind and most common and the one I have. Sunset/Red Honey Gourami: These guys look similar to the gold but more red. Be careful because Sunset Thicklip Gourami are commonly mislabeled as Sunset Honey Gourami. Wild Type Honey Gourami: Never seen these guys but I think they are lighter colored and retain the stripe for longer.

Here you go @nabokovfan87, I made it easy for you. Plants acquired 8/29/23 11/12/23 Nice & green & healthy.

Just wanted to share some pics from my underwater cameras in our above ground pond. I also have a camera on my outdoor aquarium tanks. Sorry the pictures don't come out clear when I do screenshots for some reason. I stream it live on YT so I can watch my fish 24/7. Sometimes it's more fun to watch the underwater cameras so you can see their behaviors.

This looks like a meme template of some kind. "MFW I found out Vibra Bites actually aren't 'extra crispy' bloodworms"

Well, a couple months in and most things are going well. The chain sword isn’t very happy but it is growing where it hasn’t melted away. The Anubias are growing. The big one threw a leaf out of the water. The pogostemon and crypts are loving life. The peace lily and monstera are growing. Betta and shrimp are happy. This tank doesn’t take a ton of maintenance. I do have trim the roots of the peace lily, because they keep growing into the filter and around the heater. Should I trim the crypts? I’m always afraid to ruin them but I see people mow them down online and maybe that would make them less leggy. Idk. So many choices to make in this hobby.

Planted! Looking forward to seeing how it grows in. Inhabitants next. First, I plan to add some mixed neocaridinas bred in a different setup, then I’m going to add my betta that will likely eat them all. Already some rams horns in there. I might get a Nerite, too, if I can find a horned one.

Front and side view so far. Plants next! My favorite part:)

My LFS took the betta from me as I did not want to take any chances. He spent just a day in the jail. As I was returning him I saw they were selling clown killifish so I thought they are gonna be the perfect last piece of the community. I got 4 of them, will potentially get 2 females more if they do ok in my tank. So right now we are looking at fish for every level at the tank and I would say I am completely stocked, no room for more. Here are the new killifish that I got. They are still juveniles, but I think it is 2 males and 2 females based on their behaviour. Everybody seemed to be enjoying the morning post-feeding time, with the tetras and cories picking up leftovers. Also anubias plant is blooming and the limnophila is growing too. For the future I will be looking to get some more floating plants in order for the killifish to feel more comfortable.
