Please enter now!

Ladies and Gents, Boys and Girls, all our fish lovers around the world - it's time for our monthly Tank of the Month Contest!
This month we are allowing only freshwater aquariums sized at 16 US gallons and smaller to be entered in the TOTM contest.

If you have a tank of the above stated size, please consider entering this month's contest. It doesn't matter whether your tank is planted or not planted and it doesn't matter if your tank is not yet near your final goal. More entrants make the contest more interesting, so enter your tank today!

RULES:
A picture uploaded via our "attach files" tool with a handwritten note held in front or attached to your tank with "March 2026 TFF TOTM" written on it is required to validate your entry. If you wish, you may post either a second recent picture OR a video (not both) without the note attached. (If you post a 2nd pic or video, that pic or video will be displayed as your entry post in the poll). Right under the pictures or the video, post a nice detailed write-up of your tank.
**The write up should include a good description of your tank including size, age of setup, fish stocking, water parameters, ferts used, lighting, filtration type, aeration, tank maintenance procedures, feeding schedules, etc.

• The tank you enter must be in your household
• If you won a TOTM contest previously, you must skip at least 2 TOTM contests before you can enter a different tank.
• Video can be uploaded to youtube and then a link to the video may be posted in this thread.
• A detailed description is required!
• Entries will be accepted till 4 PM ET (US) on March 9th or when we have 10 entrants...whichever comes first. Any entrant who posts an entry after we have 10 entrants will be asked to enter the next TOTM contest and their post will be deleted. The winner will be decided by votes cast by FishForums.net members.
• Please note: you are not allowed to have friends or family join TFF for the main purpose of voting for your entry

Well... mine is not very good looking but might as well enter lol.

5g shrimp tank:
It has some rock that I found in a creek on my road, an anubias plant, and a lily bulb plant. WIll fill in the tank soon with a bunch of plants but that is it for now. Have black sand, and 8 ghost shrimp. Soon I will be getting a female betta, wish me luck with its aggressiveness and its reaction to the shrimp. It has been set up a year now. Very seasoned and established though, used some media from another tank to seed it. I do 50% wcs every week and dose GLA PPS pro method ferts. Macros and micros. It has a HOB filter. 25 nitrates, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 7.6 ph. Very stable parameters.

Hope to bring this tank to its full potential, probably will not win this month but that is ok because I really enjoy seeing everyone elses and entering anyways! Love these TOTMs!!
