Patrick_G Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I haven’t really done much to this tank in several months but but I kinda like the way its grown out without intervention. It’s become a little bit jungle and a bit nature aquarium. 9 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick_G Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 This tank got a nice donation from my 75 gallon. It’s going to be a little crowded in a few months but it’s looking nice and lush now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 My 11 gal was starting to get a bit crusty, even before I left for a two week vacation. I gave it a thorough cleaning and trimming and it’s looking a bit more presentable. I’m still thinking about doing a complete redo, but it’s ok for now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started with six Rummies about a year ago and I’m down to one. There’s also six Chili Rasboras, some “Fred’s Guppies”, Red Neos, a Kuhli Loach and a pair of Pygmy Corydoras. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I always feel the need to redo things even when they’re going well. I usually use the excuse of buying a new plant or some hardscape or fish/inhabitant. Tinkerers all of us. It’s still looking amazing @Patrick_G. Is that the ONF light? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, yeah, I was thinking some new plants or bits of hard scape would definitely help make this one look less bland. My kiddo thinks a Betta would be fun and I think I agree but I’ll have to move or re-home the Chilis and k class guppies. The light is a Fluval Nano. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Bettas have won me over. I’d always thought of them as not enjoyable but they’re super trainable and ours now comes at a tap on the glass. He’s started using the floating betta cave we provided him and the hole in the top is now where I feed him. We got a giant hybrid named DJ Turbo whom I’m very happy with. I’d order a really nice alien betta online next time or if DJ passes that’s the way I’d go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tank was actually bought for a Koi betta we had imported from Thailand early in the pandemic. He was a great and very interactive fish but died suddenly after only 6-7 months.

Patrick_G Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 I did some rearranging for a more minimalist look. I really want to get some new stone and wood to do a complete reset, but for now this is what I came up with. You’ll notice some water damage on the console. It’s from airstone mist collecting on the Philodendron leaves and dripping down the side of the tank. I would have caught it sooner but was on vacation when it was happening 😬 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started doing a routine water change and glass clean but then decided to pull out all the Sprite and Wisteria since it was looking a little yellow. One thing led to another and I ended up moving almost everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s looking really overgrown, and due for a reset later this summer or fall. Although I might not be super happy the look, the Japan blue-gold guppies, a few Chilli Rasboras and a single Notho killifish seem to love it. I’m planning on replacing it with a Dutch style 60p high tech setup. The Wabi Kusas have become nano tanks and they soldier on with no maintenance other than top up and the occasional glass scraping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
