I will go first.
So, I have a 60G freshwater planted community tank.
I just got some new plants. I am always unhappy with my plants and replacing them.
The new plants I got are Octopus Plant and Anubias Nangi.
These are supposed to grow tall. I have my fingers crossed. Because I have a difficult time getting things to grow tall. I have LED lights, but I think it is only moderate light.
And I am out of Flourish Excel, so my existing plants are shriveling up.
I ordered some from Amazon a week ago, but today an email saying it is delayed. Seriously? Dont say its in stock if its not. So I cancelled from them and ordered from someone else. I might just go to PetSmart and get some.
I was there today, but didnt buy any because I didnt know it was delayed.
But PetSmart had some baby koi angelfish that I was drooling over.
I wanted them. But kinda scared of buying any that might be females. Dont need no baby mama drama! (I have a 3 male fraternity)
Anyways, I will try to post some pics of my tank tomorrow. It is very underwhelming lol

I will go second:)
I have a 10 gallon saltwater tank. I know, not huge, but it still counts:)
The plants (if you count corals as plants) I have are corals. Lots of corals.
The corals were a bright pop to the tank, because the outside was black, so it gave a cool little sight for the eye to feast at as you waked by.
Of course, I have some fish! I have two clownfish. I got super creative (not really), and named them Nemo and Marlin. I know, a way to color outside the lines, right?
I also have two snails, who likes to eat the algae off the walls. They're a super cool addition to the tank, and very good housekeepers for the Nemo clan xD
To put the cherry on top, I also have a seahorse! I named him Sheldon, like the seahorse in Nemo (don't blame me for naming them after my favorite childhood movie!) . He is super cool, and loves to 'trot' around the tank.
I will try to get some pictures. If your reading this, thanks for reading this far! :) <3

I'll go third. :)
Ah, I want a saltwater tank so bad!
I've had fish since I was....three maybe? Up until about a year and a half ago. I've had guppies (looooots of guppies.....), platies, mollies, minnows, bettas, barbs, goldfish, loaches, shrimp, frogs, snails, danios, a pleco, and probably more that I can't recall right now.
Anyway, I really miss my fishes. And the plants. So I'm going to set it up again when I move into my new room. (Yes! New room!) It's a 29 gal. I wish it was bigger, but I don't have the room right now. My question is, what should I stock it with this time? I absolutely have to have my betta, but other than that I'm open to suggestions. Is there a new amazing fish that should try? What assortment would you pick? Plants too! (Oh yeah, and I have to have my fuzz ball. <3)
Thank you for your input!

Ok, thanks Eve! I didn't even realize you could order them, lol. |

Oh, another question. What kind of filter do y'all prefer? I'm thinking of trying one of those under gravel ones. |

I have a fluval canister filter. It works really well and is easy to clean. I clean it maybe every 6 months. Supposed to clean it more often, but meh.
I dont recommend an undergravel filter. I had one when I was a kid, and I remember having to tear my tank apart to clean it.
A hang on the back filter work great for your tank and be easy to clean. |

Ok, thank you! I've only had the ones that hang off the back, but they never seemed to do their job. I must not be getting good ones.

I'll go fourth :)
I have a 20G freshwater tank, with six fishes. 3 gouramis, one corydora and two others that I dont know the name in english, but in Brazil they're called Mato Grossos. I have artificial plants and I use sand as the ground. I will send a photo when possible! |
