My Managerie of Tanks

Looks great!
But shouldn't you fill it up more?
Im leaving it at level to keep the floating frogbit from getting condensation on it and to allow more room for light to spread on those. Plus, betta breathing space

Had to move the 20g over to make room for the new tank.

Her old tank got put to use for housing fry.
 
I love it. Now lest wait and see how long it is until she changes the scape again
I cant on this one, without totally tearing it down. The branches are anchored in place on mesh under the substrate and the moss is attached so cant move it :p
 
Bubbles have all cleared up. Once the hygrophila polysperma plants grow, ill propagate them into a nice clump.

Her only tankmate is a horned nerite snail. I might consider some shrimp or something, but i have no idea how she would do with them. The seller i got her from housed her in a community with gobies and she was really good apparently...
 
Try one of your ghost shrimp.
They are coming close to the end of their life anyway.
I could just get more ghost shrimp like im planning haha but my old ladies id like to keep where theyre at so i dont stress them for no reason
 
Trimmed the wisteria in one of my 20s today, spread out the trimmings and added a big rock. Got some new vallisneria behind the rock hopefully will take... also my nerite snail has been relentlessly decorating the hardscape. Also changed out the old paper background, using a garbage bag over cardboard now instead. @PheonixKingZ suggests using garbage bags all the time as a background, gave it a shot!

And the 10g plants are doing really well, the moss especially. My crypt plantlets are finally putting out good growth since i anchored them instead of planted them. Unconventional way to grow them but i love it.

So replaced both 20 gallons with a 55 gallon.

All the fish from both 20s were combined into this tank and a few more fish were added.

A hoplosternum punctatum (will total 3, got 2 more coming this week) and a bristlenose pleco! The hoplo is named Urchin and the pleco is named Archie. The other two hoplos will be named Starfish and Squid.

I am giving away one of my empty 20s to my upstairs neighbour, but my ancient 25 year old 20 gallon, I am stripping the seals, applying new silicone, and revamping the thing. Once it is ready, I am transferring my 10g nano over to it and will be selling the 10g.

Took the upper rim off, it needs some repairs. It will probably be put back on.

the blue stained silicone is old, patched up, and crispy. I'll be scraping all of this off and redoing it. I have black silicone for aquariums coming in the mail.

Some chips and dings out of the rim.
