Hey everyone,

I am always wondering what the people I'm talking with on here have in their rooms as far as their tanks go.  I'd like to get an idea of what everyone is working with, what's going on in your tanks (stocking, plants, tank sizes, etc).

Please feel free to share what you wish!

For me:

-75G sitting in the hallway, will soon be setup

Currently running:

29g#1: Black Corydoras, Otocinclus, Amano Shrimp, Black Swordtails (males), Clown Pleco in hiding. The tank has ghost wood, seiryu stone, Taiwan moss, hyrgophilia pinnatifida, Staurogyne Repens, Scarlet Temple, and some assorted anubias (a lot of nana petite)

29g#2: Panda Corydoras, Red-Tailed Black Shark, Black Swordtails (females), Clown pleco in hiding. The tank has El Nino Fern, assorted Anubias varieties, Taiwan moss. Mopani wood, Malaysian driftwood stump, and red lava rock

10G QT tank: Riddick the Black Corydoras and some moss

BTW @jwcarlson ran me out of reactions with their Apisto journal so ❤️❤️❤️ to all who share. 

I do what I can. 🤣

 

Currently empty and probably will reseal before anything goes in them:

29, 90 (still need to pick this one up), and 125 - 29 probably ends up with one apisto pair if any of them successfully breed, 90 or 125 may end up as the discus tank or natives... haven't decided yet.  90 may also end up with the discus... at some point will hopefully need space for apisto fry to grow out, so we'll see how that goes.

Currently full, but no livestock:

10 QT tank, housing whatever is getting wormed or sick - a discus with whirling just left it empty this morning.  My new assassin snails will probably leave their bucket and go back in here.  Plants will go with them - some dwarf water lettuce, any new plants that don't have a home currently: some anubias and dwarf sag.

Currently full:

10 - CPDs (3 males, 1 female), 1 furcatta rainbow - an accidental inhabitant), mix of neo shrimp, need to remedy the M/F ratio, plants: guppy grass, "giant" hygro, couple of small bristlenose until they clean up the algae on the glass

29 - pair of Apistogramma Hongsloi, plants: PSO, hornwort, guppy grass, hair algae

37 - community tank - 15 kerri tetras, three survivor cardinal tetras, cherry shrimp, 6 sterbai corys, couple small bristlenose, plants: anubias, hygro pinnatifida, dwarf water lettuce, a single/sad amazon sword, a few crypts that don't seem to do anything even after a year, emergent pothos.  Side note: I absolutely hate the footprint of this tank.

46 bow front - 15 juvenile swordtails my 10 year old daughter suckered me into taking from my in-laws.  Also a handful of small Kuhli Loaches and a 1.5" super red bristlenose, plants: PSO, elodea, a couple of accidental algae "moss balls", val, dwarf water lettuce.  I don't want the swordtails long term, right now they all look female, however... maybe they're not old enough yet, but they're getting on to 2".  My mother-in-law always says she hasn't seen any in her juvys that look like males yet either.  Time will tell.  I don't want live bearers.  Though, part of me wants to have a few fry from them at some point and put some in with any apisto fry I might eventually have to see what the fry and mother apisto would do.

55 - divided in two, each half with a pair of Apistogramma Hongsloi, plants: PSO, various crypts, val, hair algae 😄

75 - 8 discus, a total of 9 tetras- lemons and rummynose... every once in a while one ends up with some bad thoughts and zips up the tube when doing water changes.  A relatively new addition here is a female bristlenose that's been in community tank for a year.  Bare bottom with plants: anubias, emergent pothos and philodendron
