Very nice  with the stone placement! Right now my 7 gallon looks like an overgrown jungle and I am not sure how I want to scape it yet haha

What plants did you use? I plan on setting up a 10 gallon for pigmy sunfish and I wanted the tank to be like that but I’m not sure what plants to use.

Loads of Java moss, Amazon frogbit, Hydrophila corymbosa, Hydrocotyle verticillata, corkscrew vallisneria and some foreground plants like Cryptocoryne parva (this one is very slow growing though) and Sagittaria Subulata

Different sources seems to define "nano" differently, some say under 10 gallons, some say under 30?

I have a 14 gallon as well, I'll post it and if it doesn't qualify as "nano" I'll edit and delete 🙂

My 14 gallons used to look very good

But then the wood started rotting so now I just keep it to grow plants and spawning mops to breed corys (& 1 single betta with some amanos)

Here’s my 6 gallon cube:

IMG_7653.jpeg.6f022e5873251cadd2b2398dfeaba0b1.jpeg

Dirt with a gravel cap. No filter. Pearl Weed jungle. Also has some Rotala Indica, Dwarf Hair Grass, and there’s some crypts in there. Can’t really see the crypts, but every time I trim the Pearl Weed I go “oh, the crypt is still there and alive”. Stocked with 8 Blue Axelrodi Rasbora, 2 Amano Shrimp, and Ramshorn Snails. You can see the oxygen bubbles from the plants pearling in the picture. This tank is about 2.5 years old.

Detail shot of the front right corner from the side where you can actually see the Crypt and Dwarf Hair Grass. And the Amano’s.

Here's my UNS 45S. This is an old pic. The crypts have taken over and are coming up out of the tank lol. I've got a small group of male endlers in there. The plants are thriving due to how close everything is to the surface.

This is my newest tank, a 5 gallon Betta tank for our new boy Jin Sakai. I've got Anubias, crypts, and a couple stem plants on black sand, driftwood, and elephant skin stones. I got this little guy from Aqua Huna.

I wanna see everyone’s nano aquascapes! I currently have a 5 and 10g. For my nanos. 5g in storage, but 10g is a WCMM tank! Will set up my 5g soon. But what does your nano tank looks like?

You love your Minnows! How many do you currently have in there?

Love the look of your tanks! I only have 5 at the moment, used to have 6, but that one died, got stuck under something and I had no clue. But then I got 2 more a few weeks back, but they died before they got into the tank sadly. So I almost had 7 once. Would’ve had 8 if the one didn’t die 4 months back. But they are very healthy!!! @Scaperoot, your betta is beautiful!

Absolutely. I took it as a tank with nano fish in it, which I have multiples, ranging from 20 - 55 gallons.

I’ve currently only got a 10g Betta tank (the classic, lol) but the most recent picture I have looks absolutely atrocious due to some hair algae… haha so instead here’s a pic of the gallons of floating plants I’ve got going on!

IMG_4169.jpeg.88254d316f51ec67b5bb5ee19ed504e1.jpeg

Looks amazing! Better than the classic classic betta 5g fake plant tank 🤣🤣🤣. Love the floaters, which ones exactly? @EricksonAquatics

Dwarf Water Lettuce, Salvinia of some sort, Brazilian Pennywort, Guppy Grass and Pearlweed (there’s also a dwarf lily in there sending a bunch of pads to the surface). I’ll likely move the guppy grass to the new 29g bc it’s taking over and I really want the Pearlweed and Pennywort to get a little more light!

My dream nano is a 7g Aquatop cube with a bunch of chili Rasboras and some blue dream shrimp! I want to try using all crypts so probably parva in the front, wendtii in the middle and lutea and spiralis in the back 🙂

Looks awesome, and so does Diz 😁. Love it, what kind of carpeting plant is that at the bottom? @MattyM.
