Tyler LaZerte Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) Hello Forum Friends! My name is Tyler LaZerte and I am from the great state of Minnesota! I have been an animal enthusiast since I was a baby and have owned many species of animals and continue to now. Fish have always been on my mind and in my hard to get since I had guppies back in Elementary School. Unfortunately, I was unable to have any fish where I was previously living but now I have moved in where I can have a tank! I am very into nano species after doing years of research and am looking to add cpds, small cory species, snails, and shrimp to my first correctly put together aquarium. This beauty is a Waterbox CLEAR 16 Gallon. This is a basic set up with ADA Aquasoil, Pool Filter Sand, driftwood, and bahai stone. I plan to fully plant this tank as well! It has a seeded sponge and I am still working out some parameters before I add any livestock but I look forward to getting to know everyone and will update once I get this aquarium all together and stocked!

Jeff Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Nice simple scape. Can't wait to see it unfold. I suggest Chili Rasboras. They get to be a cool dark red. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griznatch Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Welcome! Those rimless tanks sure are pretty. It's going to look great with plants and that piece of wood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler LaZerte Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 @Jeff I wouldn't be opposed to also having some chilis, but I have other creatures I want to add so i'm afraid it may be overcrowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okayestaquarist Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Also from Minnesota, that sounds like it will be a cool tank. I am honestly surprised how much I like the different snails in my tanks. In my other hobby, gardening, slugs are not welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler LaZerte Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 @Okayestaquarist For sure! Snails are my friends. I feel you with garden slugs. No bueno haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
