I have first one set up now, it's a 75 gallon. 

I've recently added the first Tetras in. I now have a school of Lemon Tetras too.

Thank you! I am attempting some breeding but not in that tank. I doubt eggs or fry would survive without being eaten.

I love the black water look I just don't have any fish I want to keep with that look at the moment. I do have a tannin "problem" in my 300 but it's a clear hillstream not a dark river. so I have carbon and lots of water changes. This is a work in progress

I have my wild bettas in black water tanks and I find it makes their colors pop! (The 1st tank shown was right after set-up but it’s dark now).
