Kolykaf
Let's all congratulate her

Here's the winning tank and its description
ddc05d1d-a4c9-4418-864b-59443c7231b2-jpeg.133742
20 gallon long
Sponge filter
Current satellite plus pro lighting
organic potting soil capped with pool filter sand
TDS 85
Gh 3
Kh <1
Ph 6.3
77F (25C)
The tank has been running for around a year and 5 months. It is moderately tannin-stained from driftwood, catappa leaves, alder cones and other botanicals. Among the plants are java fern, anubias nana petite, rotala indica, bucephalandra, dwarf sag, limnophilla heterophylla and najas indica.

It is home to a pair of betta uberis and around 6 of their offspring (it’s difficult to tell how many as they tend to hide)
12 Sundadanio globinus
7 corydoras habrosus
1 pair of clown killies

The original pair of bettas won’t touch flake/pellets or frozen so I feed black worms, daphnia, fruit flies and in warmer months mosquito larvae when I can harvest them from a bucket of water in my yard. The rest get bugbites, frozen cyclops, daphnia and spirulina flakes.
I typically change 25% of the water every 2 weeks. I use R/O remineralized with Seachem Equilibrium and add 1 pump (2ml) of Thrive all-in-one liquid fertilizer.

Congrats to @Kolykaf with your nicely planted 20 gallon tank. Well deserved win!
Tying for second place are @Mick85 and @liamc1988 . You both have very nice tanks.
For those who didnt win or didnt enter the TOTM contest, we hope you enter your tanks in a future TOTM contest.

Woohoo! Very excited!
 
Congrats! I like how you make the aquarium looks bigger than it actually is!
