Feeding the shrimp a blanched cucumber slice.
The Amano took it right from my hand.

@betta4ever!
hope to see you enter TOTM too
it's not just about winning...it's about showing others your tank so they can get ideas for their own tank. And your tank does not have to be at your final goal. Just show us what you got.

I will. Just want to get a good vid first. I need something that can compete with Connor's. All of mine have glare and are blurry

Take your picture when the room is dark. That will reduce glare.

But then it's blurry. I've got a crappy cam.

Found a Malaysian trumpet snail today. I removed it. I don't mind any other pest snail, but MTS don't belong in my aquariums.

Lower leaves are showing some brown spots. Might be time to trim the plants. This is probably from lack of light right?

Hello

I love sparkling gourami. From my experience this tank size is only good enough for 1 pair. Even in a 30G 3 pairs where too many. so really be prepared to re-home surplus fish.

Day 43:
Trimmed the hornwort and the ludwegia.
Replanted the trimmings.

Cherry shrimp are looking great:

Leave it JUST like that! It's perfect! I think the plants in the front need to grow a bit more and fill in just a bit, but otherwise it looks GREAT!

Thanks!
I'm really happy with how this tank is progressing.
The pygmy chain swords are sending out lots of runners so it should be a nice thick carpet soon.
You can see the new plants from the front of the tank:
