I have had this tank for a couple years now. Have randomly put in plants and deco over time. The wood piece is nice but it just didn’t look right where it was at. I also wanted to increase the amount of hiding spots smaller animals could go, like shrimp. So, I came up with this. Still a work in progress, aren’t they all. I took 2” PVC and cut a small section in half, sanded the edges so it wouldn’t damage any fins and created hideouts for the smaller ones. Also, took some rocks in the back yard and built up an area for the lava rock, creating another hiding spot. I do have shrimp in the tank but they are using the heater suction cups as hiding spots. As they get bigger,🤞, I wanted them to have other areas to go. For plants, in the back are Amazon sword, pogostemon stellatus octopus, water sprite and moneywort. The rest are Java ferns, Anubias barteri and a couple crypts that I hope will take hold. PS—trying to add photos but it keeps putting them upside down🤔 -
I recently added small peacocks and jewel cichlids to my 75 gallon planted barb tank. No aggression at all. -
I went to a store about an hour from my house this past week and they had some amazing longfin cherry barbs. I'm planning on doing a mini pond breeding project this summer, and was wondering if either those or Odessa barbs would work in a mini pond. Pond will be at least 40 gallons and I could go as large as 70. Could go anywhere from full sun to full shade depending on where it goes on my deck, and I'm planning on doing a mix of pond plants and aquarium plants.
