Minanora Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Hello friends! I go by Minanora in the virtual world. We have two tropical community tanks and one "hospital" tank that is always occupied by new plants or some sort of project. I plan to get another 10G tank to help with efficiency between plants and fish since our current 10G is always holding up traffic. Usually with fry related activities. We have a 20G tall in my sons room that has some guppies, oto, cory's, a swordtail pair, tetras, and a clown pleco. We also have a 75G Takashi Amano inspired tank that is about a month old. This tank was cycled with pre-seeded media for the canister and completed a fishless cycle in a week! It's currently lightly stocked with a pair of swordtails, one male guppy that is too spirited to be with any other guppies, and about 27 baby guppies that are growing the bio-load slowly. There's also a bunch of bladder snails that are helping clean. I'll crowd them out with a colony of shrimp at some point. Besides my love of natural aquariums, I have a lot of hobbies, work from home full time with my kiddo, and we love to be outside. I grow a lot of food, I can food, I love to wakesurf, hike, draw, paint, and play various online and board games. We spend a lot of time with our family. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I hope fishkeeping will be something he enjoys for the rest of his life and not a chore. I had fish from the age of 3 until I was 19, then took a break until this year since my son is now 3 and can enjoy having a tank. It feels great to have fish again. I love your fish room! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two upcoming tanks, but I’m only building one of the stands. The other one’s getting a nice metal Petco stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have honestly had guppies in every tank I've ever kept, except for maybe two goldfish tanks when I was really little. At least that I can remember. I love your guppy project! Your signature caught me off guard. I saw the word "Pico" and immediately thought you may be a home brewer. My husband and I brew beer and we use a system called a Pico Z. Stout season is coming... Oh wait, it never left. 🍺 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
