20g Community Aquarium

You always do a rescape or replanting (joking, it keeps you busy which is good and you'realso really good at it, I guess I'd just caution against it only cause it may keep stressing the fish out a bit)

Yeah, thats true...
I feel like with how the plants are doing right now, a rescape would actually do the fish good. (more plants, more places to hide, more security).

Its like this tank is cursed.
Nothing grows right.

Thats a very good point. I guess in that case, I would have to add more fertilizer slowly and see what happens...

I ended up removing the wisteria except for a few accent pieces. The few pieces remaining bounced back pretty well.

Still has to clear....

The water has cleared

Ordered the Fluval Plant 3.0 32w for this tank.

Not much to update on this tank.
The chain swords are taking their time changing from emerged to submerged.
Have some diatoms, but the snails should take care of that.
Have some new swords growing as well which is cool.

 

[connorlindeman]

Just water changed.

Hand-fed these guys today.
Held the flakes lightly between my fingers, and they weren't scared at all. They didn't stop until the last trace of food was gone.

 

[connorlindeman]

Added some floating hornwort.

Well this tank has had a lot of changes since my last update.

We only have two fish in this tank right now.
We have one old sparking gourami, and an old cherry barb. Both only survivors of larger groups. I am hoping to get some more fish in here soon.
I am open to any ideas you guys may have.

Wow ! What an absolute beauty...

Man... Your landscaping is mind blowing.

That is blooming cool.

Stunning. The use and placement of the oak leaves is aesthetically brilliant, aside from the practical merits. Well done! As for stocking, I have a colony of Nannostomus anduzei in one of my planted 20s and that makes a lovely picture. Probably not a good idea with the cherry barb and sparkling gourami given how diminutive N. anduzei are, but a slightly larger, colorful Nannostomus like N. rubrocaudatus would be a knockout in your setting.

Thank you very much.

Nannostomus rubrocaudatus are truly stunning.
Seriouslyfish says that for Nannostomus rubrocaudatus need an aquarium of at least 90x30. The 20g high is about 77 cm. Do you think that would be an issue?

Thanks @MaloK.
I am very happy with how the moss came in. If you scroll up a bit, you can see the structure that is under the moss.
