I think I finally figured out how to do this with YouTube, not quite a minute, but hey it's my first try and I'm a photographer, not a videographer. Also just found out my Amanos seem to love my Pogostemon erectus just a bit too much, ...nom, nom, nom.

 

That is awesome! Love that tank. Wow!! What plants all have you got in there??! 

[Jungle Fan]

I took the clip with my phone, so I had to hold it sort of at an angle to keep the Kessils from producing too much glare on the glass of the phone. I don't usually do video, I'm much better at stills. I've got 35 Cardinal Tetras, 12 Rummynose Tetras, 6 Bolivian Rams, and 9 Otocinlus, plus Amanos and Blue Vevet shrimp in there, and as you can  see by the white dots on the wood Nerite snails and military helmet snails. The Bolivian Rams and Rummynose Tetras generally like to hang out in the plants and diverse caves in the wood until it is feeding time. Getting pictures of them is like being out on photo safari, you have to stalk them, sit, and be quiet.

PS: the noise in the background is the room air purifier, not the Kessils.

What a beautiful lush underwater jungle!  How long have you had this tank going? 

[Jungle Fan]

@Lifeisgoodit's going on 9 months now. I've had to aggressively trim back the Green Ocelot sword twice because it was about to grow out of the tank and it's lidded, and the Cryptocoryne wendtii Green Gecko I trim back about every 3 to 4 weeks so it doesn't get too dense for the fish to be able to swim comfortably among it.

Haven't decided if I want to do this way or not..got to run the filter next

My honey gourami grow out tank. 😊 I can see these babies from the kitchen table.

My 95 gallon Hex tank. It's been so fun to sit and watch. I tried to find some cherry shrimp under the java moss but no such luck. You would think the 70+ I put in there a week ago would be easy to spot...

 

[Betsy]

These tanks are so cool to look at - major inspiration and goals!

Maybe one day, my plants will be that lush and fabulous!!! 😆

[Jungle Fan]

Try #2 turn the sound off though because the air purifier is loud, and at the angle that I recorded it's better in high resolution.

 

[Raeburn]

Wow, you all have wonderful looking aquariums.

This is one of mine, I consider it a favourite because it's the one I relax in front of in the evenings.

 

[Jungle Fan]

@RaeburnVery nice tank, very relaxing. Angelfish and Neon Tetras always a winning combination. I'm once again ORD would click like otherwise.

Yeah uhhhhh I think I'm a bit overstocked! Darn endlers. I'm getting some shipping supplies in soon since I've had no luck selling them locally. Worst case scenario I donate a bunch to the pet store to get eaten by crayfish or stuck in with guppies et al.

Do you do any outdoor mini ponds? Those Endlers will explode with color in an outdoor mini tub. But of course . . . you'll end up with M  O  R  E  ! ! ! 🤣

LOL I might have to try it just to have somewhere to put them!

I really enjoyed this thread, we should keep it going.

@Fish Folk,  I love the tank in your OP, I've envisioned setting up a tank similarly, it is nice to see one in action.

Forgot to add tag.

[FrozenFins]

Maybe not my favorite tank but its one of my favorite fish. Perhaps it will become my favorite fish when I add some tank mates.

I did a minute of my 29 gal tonight. Occupants are humpback limia, a super red bristlenose (but I don't it ends up on camera), some mystery snails and many pink ramshorn snails.

I love this! Such a great use of two unfairly maligned plants: hornwort and jungle val. I say, if it keeps the fish happy, it keeps me happy. And these fish are so happy! Also don't think I've seen too many limia. Nice to see them in action. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! I love this tank. Did you happen to connect with Greg Sage on the Limia? Their dorsals are pretty cool. I like how they chill in the Val. Agreed with @Kirsten that the hornwort and Val are a nice combo. Do you keep this at room temp?

I got the limia from "Dan's Fish." They're not the most colorful fish, but I love the swoop of the male's top line and their stripes. I have a heater/Inkbird in there to keep it around 76F in the winter, in the spring/summer it might creep up to 78-80 if I don't have the AC on.
