Seasoned Tank Time Saturday - Share Photos of Your Established Aquarium

I just took this photo. Because of the foreshortening it looks like he is a little more than 2" measured by the ruler, but in reality it right at 3".

I moved him in to this tank (with a female) a couple a days ago to see I there might be interest in spawning.

That tank is the opposite of a seasoned aquarium. I take a 10 gallon aquarium and add hornwort, water from a seasoned tank and add a pair of breeders and whoosh, insta-tank. I think the hornwort deals with any nitrogen issues. Usually there is no filter or airstone. If I add a heater, I will add and airstone.

This is a kinda happy accident tank that’s turned into a fun messy place for my sparkling gouramis and (temporarily) kribensis. The sparkling gouramis are nearing full size and the kribensis are a little over an inch long. They move very similarly and have somewhat similar shapes and stripes so they make an interesting blend, each with its own level of aquarium turf. 036F6471-63EF-4247-AB3D-0087A5522543.jpeg.731104320d7ba7eecfc60cad98870b4e.jpeg

My most seasoned tank is difficult to see into. I let algae and biofilm cover everything and don't clean the glass, I rarely water change, I do top offs, throw food in every now and then, and thin out the shrimp and Hornwort when it starts getting too cramped. This tank is packed with Hornwort and I'm convinced that (in addition to being very seasoned) is why the neglect works.  It is by no means a pretty display tank, but they don't seem to mind.

You get questions like, 'Can I put my guppy in a quarantine tank with no filter'?

I think you can. Here is an aquarium with swordtails, guppies, shrimp, sparkling gouramis and I not sure what else.

I have never had a filter or an airstone (or a heater) in this aquarium. My only complaint is recently the water has begun to clear a little bit. Which is a shame as it was my go to green water tank for quite a while.
