Daniel E Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Hi Aquariast’s, I’m Daniel out of CA, I’m relatively new to the hobby! I started with a 5 gallon tank with a blue betta fish, Saff. Recently, due to illness (he ate some Neon Tetras),RIP, I decided to upgrade to a 10 gallon tank and dive into a planted nano aquarium. Researching, watching Co-Op videos on YouTube, there’s so much information to consume and start a journey into this hobby. My tank is only a week old and I’ve been working on testing the water parameters pretty consistently. I still have lots to learn and already have questions bubbling up in my mind. I added an image breakdown of my creatures but here’s some insights on the plants I’ve added / adding: - Pearl Weed, Dwarf Sagittaria, Scarlet Temple, Micro Sword, Duckweed, and Fairy Moss, Fissidens Rock, and 2 Moss Balls I also plan to add in the Honey Gourami after a few weeks to be my centerpiece fish in the nano aquarium. Looking forward to seeing this planted tank come to life! Pleasure to meet everyone! -Daniel Edited February 18, 2022 by Daniel E 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi_Aquatics Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Welcome to the forum! That aquarium looks great, and I love the live plants! I have never personally kept honey gouramis but they are on my bucket list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel E Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 @Levi_AquaticsThanks! I still need to plant the Micro Sword and Scarlet Temple. Once those are planted I’ll add in the Honey Gourami. Should be a great addition to the community tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarazzl Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Awesome tank @Daniel E!! I have a 20g tank, currently I have a combination of platies, danios, and tetras. They are the survivors of the Ich disease. So I am considering restocking my tank, and reconstruct the layout of my tank. I love how you arrange the appropriate amount of live plants in the tank! I will definitely keep that in mind! Can't wait to see your little fish in the tank! 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel E Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 Thanks everyone I just added in the Scarlet Temple and Micro Swords today. I’ll make some updates in a few weeks after the plants have some good growth. For now here’s one of the French Blue Endler’s Livebearer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
