Show me the favorite part of your tank(s)!!

Whether it is part of the hardscape, the plants, or even the inhabitants... what is the favorite part of your tank?

I'll go first! I love this whole corner, but my favorite part of it is the moss! I was getting really frustrated because it wouldn't stay down and it was way past my bedtime, so finally I just shoved it in place, and to me it looks awesome in the foreground. I love seeing all the cute threads of moss ^__^

In my 29g, it’s this area with a Crypt Tropica forest. This was originally 1 plant that has now been divided over the year into 5 very beautiful plants. (The original is in the back behind the lava rock)

 

and in the 75g, it’s my Java Fern Island

There is no way you couldn't love this tank. Oh my goodness. Honestly - I am stunned. This tank really is so calm and relaxed -- it does not strike me, but yet it truly stuns me. It is just beautiful, in the most subtle way. My favorite part of your tank is... the whole thing. This is amazingly beautiful.

What is the stocking / planned stocking? What are the plants you've had the most success with?

Oh my gosh, these are both amazing tanks. Crypts are really starting to make me excited - I am so tempted to rescape my tank and incorporate some crypts. Any species you recommend? I know wendtii is super popular. 

On your 75g, I cannot help but fall in love. Those rocks are beautiful and so intricate! Did you purchase those or find them? The wood piece is equally as amazing!

What plant is this???!!! I am in love with it so much!!!

P.S (sorry for all the questions) what fish are in your 75g omg they're so cuteeeee!!!!

YOUR TANKS ARE AMAZING

Currently I have 6 each panda cories, oto cats, kulhi loaches.   Planning on a school of tiger barbs.  The stems are all doing fabulous I will send you a list and where each came from if known.

How that it was a journey, of spending tons of money for just a 10g, but I think it was worth the money. From cycling it to now having awesome fish, white clouds. But my favorite part is the plants, and the cave look in it, I love cave hides for tanks and I also of course love my fish!! Here is some pics, I love how it turned out, hope you do to! I have a 5g too, but it’s empty right now. 🙂

I have several different Crypts in both tanks but my fav by far is Crypt “Tropica”. It’s just beautiful.

The jagged looking rocks in the 75g were purchased at Petsmart in a bag and called “Mountain Stone”. The smooth ones are “Mexican Beach Pebbles” and were purchased at Home Depot. I was originally going to use them in my garden, but decided I needed more rocks in my aquarium 😁

the wood is 3 separate pieces- the light colored center one is actually fake ( I didn’t think about how it wouldn’t change color over time like real wood does). I purchased it at PetSmart because I could not find a real one tall enough. The ones on either side are real Spider Wood, also purchased from PetSmart

 

the small plant you zoomed in on is Buce. I think it’s “Brownie”, but not entirely sure
