Show us yer tank! (DO NOT QUOTE PHOTOS)

Well done!

Hi all.

I have 3 tanks.

55lt - killiefish, armored shrimp, 9 rasbora, 3 panda cory, 3 ottocinclus

15lt - 5 assorted shrimp, 5 Endlers' livebearers.

240lt - (new, fish so far) 5 assorted shrimp, 10 cardinal tetra, 2 orange bristlenose pleco, 1 dwarf pleco (dark grey with light grey spots), 3 koi angelfish, 3 guppies.

loving the hobby so far. A big emphasis for me is the planting side of it. i love experimenting with the planting arrangements.
The 55lt is built to have a free swimming area in the middle.
The 15lt is built to push the endlers to the front to show off their colour.
The 240 is built with small fish in mind, so lots of tall but slender plants, so the fish can glide in and out of the foliage, looks brilliant. Orange rocks and light brown substrate to simulate a lush desert (this possible?).

All tanks get some carbon supplement daily, macro/micro fertiliser weekly.

So far the 15lt guys prefer mini-pellets, the 50lt guys prefer bigger pellets/brine shrimp, and the large tank denizens prefer algae wafers and flakes.

Anyway, here's pics, enjoy!

My new setup.

Out with the plastic pirate ship, in with the bog wood and plants.



180 litre tank, 1 common goldfish, 5 white cloud mountain minnows, 5 zebra danios, lots of plants. Might go tropical in the new year!

Al.

I've had the shrimp tank up and running, albeit hill billy style (see the lighting fixture) But that's only temporary until i get the correct connectors for thhe lightbulbs.

A few new denizens in the 120L. The big anubias is doing really well, but I'd like something tall along the back.


Four boseman's rainbowfish


One albino longfin bristlenose pleco


And one of the two new otos in the 'Ube. They seem to have figured out to avoid my jerk of a gourami

Question: How much additive did you put in to get the water that dark?
Have been adding blackwater extract myself at the recommended dosage, but i'm seeing no change in water colour...

You can use alder cones to stain the water, give them a rinse, put them in the tank and will be good for a few weeks.

Allo,

Tank looks really well!

What type of sand did you go for? I love the brilliant white, and the background shows it off well.

Cichlid tank?

I got me a pretty new betta

Fantastic, well done.

Im a big fan of shrimp - trouble is so are the Discus in the South American tank and as for the Tangs in the African set up- forget about it.

Have an empty Juwel aquarium, about 2 foot I think it is- a tank planted and dedicated to shrimp sounds great to me right about now.
