Fresh Princess Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Hello, from NC! I have had freshwater aquariums for 18 yrs, at one time I had 2 55 gallons. Currently happy with just one though. Up until a couple of months ago, I usually had plastic plants and a driftwood, but they always looked dirty and 'fake'. So I had a situation where my tank was bowing in the front and back, so I bought a new one and decided to get real plants, and the addiction begins. 🥰 Today I received my ACO air pump, sponge filter and accessories and promptly set it all up and planted my Pogo Octopus (which has sitting in the basket for a week in the tank). I also got rid of my old tank hood and light about a month ago, and put glass top and Hygger 957 light.... what a difference this had on my plants!! (that and the Easy Green liquid and tabs!!!!!) Currently stock: 1 Discus, 1 Veil Angel, 6 platties, 2GBR, 2 Gold Rams, 4 Sterbia cory's, 6 Bleeding Blue Tetras, 2 ottos, 1 Clown Pleco, and several XL Amano Shrimp (not sure if or how many the Angel snacked on) I am not sure I would have been this successful with this planted tank if I hadn't found ACO/Cory's video, etc. Thank you for all you do! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a mate but since he wouldn't allow her to lay eggs, she became egg bound over time... so he's a loner now. My other favorite are the cory's... they're like cute little porpoise, clowning around and having fun. So entertaining to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
