Thanks! It's very small at just under 3 gallons after scaping.

Hello Nerms Been putting this little nano tank together for the amazing people at my local coffee shop. Totally enjoy putting scapes together, was a perfect member live stream to watch today as I put the fish in this. Stocked with Chilli Rasbora, Blue Dream cherry shrimp and Red Stiphodon gobies. Thanks for taking a look.

Oh wow $48 a piece is almost double what I paid for them, not including the discount this particular store gives me since I bring them tons of shrimps. Was so worth it though they look amazing in my community tank.

Stopped into one of my lfs in Tucson, ya know just a pop in see what might be new kinda thing, left with a school of these beauties! Black Venezuelan corydoras! Pricy but traded some blue dream shrimp to knock the price down. Not a huge corydoras fan but loved the way they look like true miniature catfish.

Hello Nerms! Thanks everyone for the kind welcome. Mentioned in my introduction I had made other tanks, so figured I would throw them up here. First set of images are my first tank built, 2.5 gallon, small I know but it got lots of attention (twice a week water change etc😂). The next image is a 6 gallon AquaJapan shrimp tank with some chili rasbora as well, I set up for a family member(the bumblebee gobies were only there while my 40gl got setup). Last set of photos is 10 gallon AquaJapan tank I just setup today for the same family member

Thanks! Was a ton of work but loved doing it.

Hello fellow Nerms! So here is a short, about me: My name's Nathanael, I've been a glassblower for sometime now and like many was affected by the past years events leading me to new hobbies with all my downtime. I had an interest in water features (home fountains etc) related to my work in glassblowing, which led me down the YouTube rabbit hole till I came across a YouTuber called Asu. This gentleman made amazing diorama style paludarium tanks, well being artsy already, I was hooked. This kicked off months of research, any fish/aquarium info I could find I was digging into, culminating in me building my first tank from glass up. Shortly there after helping setup a tank for my roommate and again shortly after that decided to build another larger tank. That brings me up to my current journey in fishkeeping. Here is some images of the 40 gallon paludarium again built from glass up.
