Hello! 
I wanted to share the progress of my community tank. It’s now just over six months old. I have a wide variety of plants and critters. 
I have several crypts, swords, stem, and anubias (Most bought from this site 😁)

I have several different types of fish, snails, and shrimp. 15 different species 

My favorites are my angelfish and lemon bristlenose. 
 

I had a 29 gallon as a kid but I know so much more this time around thanks to YouTube. It’s such a rewarding hobby!

Nice looking tank. Lemons mystery snails and pandas are so fun. Your lemon looks very healthy! Nice full belly.

Your tank looks great. That angel fish is super cute and cheeky looking. Your photos are very nice, too. What kind of phone/camera are you using? I can never get good pictures like that with mine.

Thank you!! Believe it or not I’m using just an iPhone camera. Xs pro, so not even recent either.

I love my 45 g display. Swords are a good choice as they will help fill the volume. I’ve had good success with aponogeton species like Madagascar lace, ulvaceus and crinums as well. Love the species you’ve chosen as I can imagine the mollies and angels use up the space. I think once your tank settles in a nice group of medium size tetras would be good - black phantoms, diamonds, red eyes. Best of luck and have fun! Welcome to our lovely little community!
