🐠 TOTM anewbie - July 2025 Tank of the Month Winner

[connorlindeman]

We have a winner in Tropical Fish Forums'
July Tank of the Month Contest

We had 6 awesome tanks entered in this month's TOTM contest.
It was a very close contest, but only one could win...
And the winner is.......

​

@anewbie​

Let's all congratulate them
​

This is my 29 gallon a. wolli aquarium. It has an ec of 37 and temp of 77. It has been setup for approx 18 months still in the newbie stage compared to aquariums setup for 10 or 20 years...
-
It has a lot of residence and you can see many of them if you look closely. It also has a lot of plants and you can see a few of them but some are hidden.

In the forground you can see 1 of the young a. wolli right center near the leaf. In the back you see a bunch of n. marliyn weaving in and out of the plants. There are some larger a. wolli in the back but they rarely show themselves (once a month if you are lucky) and a few otto. Lots of species of plants including corck screw val and various smaller echinodorus including a fancy twist on right center front and cut off but a small remi on the left front. The stem plant you see back left center and front left corner is ludwigia red skeleton (nice plant) In the left back to right covering driftwood the buce you see was sold as silver powder and if you look closely you can see a bloom or two. There might be something buried by the leaf in the back but i don't think so. Also there is quite a bit of drift wood buried in there. The glare in the lower left is from the discus aquarium - sorry about that but the discus are too temperamental to have their light turned off and on. Last time i pissed them off they wouldn't eat for 2 weeks.
Enjoy !
