hmmm, would they stock well in a 20 gallon long? lol. I do love shellies. I always wanted one just like yours, black sand, the shells, only with some very low light ferns here and there, maybe even an anubias.

I do want a tutorial on that DIY stand though!

Yah for sure a lot people keep them in 20L. People keep 6 in 10g so yah a group of 6-12 would be perfect start.

Stand was easy. Cost $6. Used some old scrap redwood fence board. The boards actually fit the footprint to a T made life easy.

Is that the basic glass tank? No ultra clear, etc.?

What's up aquaribrahs?

I've had aquariums since buying a 25 gal at a garage sale in 7th grade. At some point I had a 150 gal saltwater tank (fish only)... but I grew up and went out into the world.

Now in Europe rocking a simple 30 Liter nano tank with LED lighting, Eheim corner filter, auto-feeder, and some guppies. The tank is pretty self-sufficient nowadays. I had one big mass extinction of the guppies after introducing 3 new males. So now it's only 1 big/new male and one small female from my original stock. I'm using "bonsai soil" for substrate with a bit of crushed pumice on top.

The glass tanks for sure. I grabbed a $40 40 gal just now.

Last year mine got in 6 75 gallons during their sale and I bought two of those, $75 each. They're occupied by reptiles now though. But damn, bringing those home for that price was a great day of my life!

Why have I not seen this thread before?

Aqua brahs
I'm rocking a 120 tank full of red blood parrots, rainbow fish, red tail silver barbs, and giant danios.

If I remember, I'll grab some pictures.

You'd better add more neon tetras or I am going to kick your f*cking ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bee su]

i use to own these snails . they were about a quarter in size. they have the strongest scent sensing ever. food touches the water and they would climb to the top as fast as they could. they would wait at the water line and i could just drop a pellet as if they were trying to put there hands out. but its just that flat bottom that sticks out. those fookers would climb out the tank though. they leave the rainbow trail to were i would find a dry as corpse. they all died that way. like no tank was ever 100% sealed. interesting tank addition. rip snails

More animals more ammonia. Less is more.

Neon tetra..... I read that as single as in one. Neons do best in shoals, you know this more than most.

lol I have one of those 7ft by 8ft roll down bamboo screens outside of the fish room, blocks the window and most of the wall. It's pretty $$ currently don't have to run any heaters. Tanks sit at 78-81. Once summer is over the heaters will go back on.

My house is all skylights and every room has a 9ft French sliders. I've never really had alge issues but I probably do more maintenance then 90% of the people in the hobby.

[YellowOnYellow]

Since someone repoed me for pics. Also too lazy to embed. Fishes keep uprooting all my plants I said screw it and got more rocks. Might re design the tank. Idk.

I would house 1 male betta in it Yeah though, if someone has an 800, surely can do better like pacus, gars or arowana or a red tailed catfish.

[Deathstroke]

I have a 40, cannot decide if I want to do brackish or african cichlid. Brackish can give me more creative leeway in the future like I can turn it full salt if I wanted down the road.

Nice to see this pop up in my user cp, my 12gal w/ sump project is on hold while I refinish a bathroom and do some other stuff in the house :/

[Deathstroke]

As if there was ever any doubt I am back in the game. I have a 40 setup and instant cycled. Freshwater, I shall get an unveiling vid soon.

Stock as follows: 1 blood red parrot cichlid, 2 angelfish, 1 convict, 1 red tailed black shark, 7 tiger barbs, 4 yoyo loaches, 1 clown pleco, 2 remaining cory catfish that I had from my turtle tank (not replacing the cories when they go). LATER ON thinking of adding 3 siamese algae eaters and a panda garra (sp?).

Had 3 nerite snails but had to remove them because the yoyo's were trying to eat them by sucking them right out of their shells........

if anyone wants to point out any stocking issues they may see with my 40, go ahead but I won't care. I will likely tell you to go run down a steep hill with your hands in your pockets.
