Hey all! Happy to be here! Love all the information I am getting from the site and youtube! I am a bay area native, living in the San Jose area of California!
I have 3 tanks right now, with a 4th one that I've been prepping to start soon! I love to focus on live plants and creating a great aquascape. I tried the c02 route once and I wasn't a super fan of it, so I think I'll be doing low tech moving forward, but we'll see! π
Tank 1: Fluval Spec V (modded it by adding a 20" Finnex Planted+) (5 gallons)
6 chilli rasboras, 1 scarlet badis, 2 spiked nerites and a bunch of hitchhiker bladder snails! (I also had 2 micro crabs in there, but, havent seen them since they were added in, woops! haha)
Tank 2: UNS 5N - Shrimp Tank! (4 gallons)
7 red cherry shrimp, 2 nerite snails
Tank 3: UNS 30C - Betta Palace! (7 gallon cube)
1 crowntail betta (will probably get him a snail friend too. He's a shrimp hunter so not sure if he'll like other fish. He used to flare at the nerite snail I had with him in there whenever the snail would be on the front glass, but I love him.)
These are my tanks! I am in the process of setting up a shell dweller tank in the next few weeks. And then have one more project tank, which I am thinking will be a beautiful planted tank with some white clouds (already have some great pieces of driftwood picked out) -- but that will be further down the line π
Hope you are all well!
