The 95 Gallon Brothel

[Malipipkin]

Howdy Folks!
I aggressively ripped out the fake decor out of my tank, eager to start a build...so here I am! I have attempted to plant this tank previously, but I did not dedicate any time to cultivating plants and/or propagating them, so it flopped.

Here is my fish stocking list :
- 5 Otocinclus (Otto's)
- 4 Albino Cory's
- 5 Longfin Tetras (glofish)
- 2 Pristella Tetras (glofish)
- 1 Shortfin Tetra/Skirt (glofish)
- 29 Guppies, Mollies and Platies
The Glofish are in the tank due to my mother's request. I personally am not a fan but oh well!

Plant stocking list :
I currently only have 1 Java Fern in the tank but I own, and will be adding
- Java Fern
- Bacopa
- Java Moss
- 2 dwarf hair grass mats (not sure what I'm going to do with it but we will figure it out
... and a few others I don't remember the name of LOL!

Hardscape:
- 2 pieces of Mopani Wood
- 50lbs Sand
- Indian Almond Leaves

Here is the Tank! The floating things are Indian Almond leaves; I honestly wouldn't be shocked if there is a dead fish or two featured in this photo.. We just stocked all of the guppies a week prior to (12/11/2025). The reason I call this a Brothel is due to the unorganized nature of breeding intent. I intend for them to breed, I am excited to see what comes of it, but it is completely uncontrolled chaos LOL! I do not have the time and/or space for a multi-tank, extensive setup for proper breeding.

I figured I'd add some lore to keep this thread entertaining LOL!

(yes I am aware that almost everyone has ich at the moment, they are undergoing treatment )

Pictured here is Yin & Yang. They are interchangeable, it is just a pair name. I was initially just going to purchase the white based one and the manager (who was netting the fish) pointed out that there was one who looked the exact opposite of the white one. I had to get him as well, so here they are! ( Amazing sale tactic haha). It also turns out that the top one is male and the bottom is female!

I was attempting to take a pic of a specific fish but everyone said they wanted to partake in the photo op. I have very friendly fish, any time I am taking water they try to leave the tank with me lol! they love to eat from my fingers as well, especially the Longfin tetras. pardon the desperate need for water addition.

Feel free to reply, leave comments, suggestions, tips ect, I love chatting about anything fish!
