  1. So just wanted some feed back in my tank it's new just added a few more plants to the tank today. Wanted to make sure everything is planted in a good place but any criticism would be appreciated as it's my first planted tank. 40g breeder Plants include Brazilian pennywort Java fern Crypt wednii Moneywort Christmas moss Moderate level lighting Large Sponge filter Aqua clear 50 Using easy green and co-op root tabs 3 parts Fluval stratum substrate mixed 1 part black diamond blasting sand Thanks in advance -your friendly neighborhood kraken
  2. Was curious who all is keeping black neon tetras currently and what your set ups up like? I placed an order today for 30 for my tank!
  3. Thanks I appreciate the advice. I just placed an order for 30 blacks they will special order them next week do to the amount I'm asking for
  4. Other then the black neons I was looking into getting a nice dwarf cichlid for a center piece like a nice ram or apisto
  5. so my tank is a 40 breeder My original plan was to get 30 black neon tetras but the local fish store doesn't have enough and they probably won't have another order them for a month and unfortunately I'm an impatient fish keeper That's the worst quality I have
  6. I just worry that not getting enough of either or will stress the fish as they need large numbers to feel safe.
  7. Question I'm at the local fish store and I'm debating whether or not what to buy they have a few black neons which are what I wanted a few Cardinals and a few neons would they all school together that way I can get a full school instead of just two or three a piece due to limited supply
  8. Thanks! Me to I just received my order from co-op yesterday so they are freshly planted exited to see the growth myself
  9. Finally finished setting up my planted 40G Update on the 40g finally got everything set up Full spectrum lighting ✔️ 300w heater✔️ Large sponge and aqua clear hob ✔️ Fluval stratum and black diamond sand ✔️ Brazilian pennywort ✔️ Java fern ✔️ Christmas moss ✔️ Now just to get my stock in the next few weeks my idea is 30 black neon tetras and a pair of dwarf cichlids on the bottom as showpieces.
  10. This is my current project. 40g breeder 2 java fern, Brazilian pennywort, christmas moss, large cholla wood piece holds moss and a fern. fluval stratum with a light layer of sand to help hold it down for substrate have a nice hygger full spectrum light coming from Amazon tomorrow (it's 5 days late already) large sponge, and aqua clear 70 for filtration till my plants grow and can help keep up with just a sponge. currently has rosey minnows that I use to help cycle newer tanks but future stock will be 20 black neon tetras and open to suggestions for a nice dwarf cichlid pair to keep with them.
  11. So my actual fish room is in the basment wich is finished concrete flooring so don't have to worry there in the future but the upstairs has my 40s and 20s. But house is only 13 years old so it still has young bones thankfully
  12. I got really lucky. My grandmother sold us her house when she down sized we went from 900sqft to 4,500sqft. I have a massive basement that I'm unsure what to do with the pond was the first thing to enter my mind
  13. Sadly it's still in the early stages and by early stages it's a pond liner and a homemade 5g bucket filter right now now water or fish yet here soon though for sure. Still thinking about stocking options
  14. Hello everyone 😁 I'm marcus. I have been fish keeping on and off for the last 8 years constantly the last 3 years. I have kept a very diverse fish collection from community, to flower horns, africans, invertebrates, other large predator fish. I have recently downsized do to covid the past year. I currently keep 2 40g, 2 20g, 10g, and a 90 indoor pond. I am far from someone who knows much about the hobby lol I have mainly learned from youtube and experience along the way. Believe it or not I actually just started my first planted tanks. I hope to make some great friendships and learn from everyone here.
