This will basically become my longterm photo dump for photos of my tanks and fish.

Questions are welcome.

I keep 6 tanks, plus a couple small set ups for shrimp (future) and snails.

First is my 1gal snail jar. Aerated and planted in a sunny window. In a few months ill add shrimp.

And lastly, my 46g bowfront

(Yes i am aware i overstock, but lots of filtration and manual labour keeps things in good shape)
 
I really like all of them! I like the 10g nano and the 2.5 black water tank. :)
 
Rescaped the livebearer community. Something a bit different. Allowing more hiding places and sight breaks.

They look great :)
 
That 20 gallon tank looks familiar. Oh..I know...you're in this month's Tank of the Month contest.

If you don't win this month, next month we will be featuring tanks sized at 30 gallon and above. That bowfront 46 gallon tank would make a nice entry. Hope you consider entering.
 
The plants in my 10g have filled in since my last photo

Question is, should i expand the plants to each side of the tank or keep them centralized like an island as they are?
 
Some assorted photos of my fish. I keep many species...

Ive got a couple one eyed fish as well, taken home from local stores and nursed back into good shape

I had to remove all my hornwort, my apple snails did so much damage to it that it didnt stay nice. I removed it and its recovering in a container in my window until i can put it in another tank.

As a result, i tore apart the 20g, vacuumed up all the dead hornwort bits from the sand, and redid the tank.

I scaped it to look like my local riverfront habitat. Rocks and wood collected locally as well. Itd be nice at least if i could grow a carpet of hair algae on some of the scape at least until the snails live out their days lol

Of course my fish arent the native fish or even close to resembling the natives youd find here.

But all in all im pretty happy with this result.
