    Here's my tank. If you don't mind me saying, I've cultivated a community that I'm pretty proud of- this 14 gallon cube is home to neon tetras, cory catfish, swordtail, mystery snails, and I've recently added cherry shrimp and...acquired many ramshorn snails. It's pretty heavily planted, too...

    So I'm thinking of adding some Rams into my community tank but I'm not sure if they would fit. I tried two golden Rams about 6 months ago but they both died within a month :( Not sure what went wrong, but I'm thinking next time I will steer clear of the goldens - maybe they were just too...
  3. Aquascaping
    I'm starting up this 29g soon, it's just gonna be a community tank with platies, Cory's, etc. I've got a rough idea of how I want to scape it, but I want some feedback from anyone who may want to take a look and throw some ideas up there. Substrate is gonna be eco complete with a pool filter...

    New here, this is my first tank journal! I've gotten back into the hobby after about 15 years away. I kept fish when I was a teenager...at one point had multiple 30g tanks in my bedroom...it got very humid 😅. This is a 10 gallon community tank that has been up and running for about 3 months...

    I'm setting up my 65 gallon aquarium next week and have found a local breeder with Koi Veiltail and Super Veil angelfish. They will be in my area next weekend and I have filter media ready to throw into my XP3 once I have water in the tank. It will be heavily planted (ofc). (Pic of the angel...

    I am currently in the process of setting up a 75 gal tank. It will be planted and heated but I want recommendations on what to stock it with. The tank will be fully cycled and have Carib-sea black as well as some sand for substrate. Also some wood and stone hardscapes I would like to stay away...

    So, I run an aqua clear 30 on my 20-gallon long community tank. It's great along with my sponge filter it does a wonderful job at making sure my tank is pristine at all times. But there is a small problem.... I have cherry shrimp in this tank, and it is a community tank....and the shrimps keep...

    I have a 20 gallon long with 16 females and currently 5 pygmy cories. My question is would it be okay to add more pygmy cories? The tank is heavily planted and everyone gets along, but feel like a few more cories would help balance out the tank.

    Hey everyone I plan to keep a community 40g breeder tank, and while I was looking for some oddball fish that fit into my parameters I noticed the platinum halfbeak (or dermogenys pusilla to be specific) and I can not resist getting some of these guys. While i researched them some websites...
  10. General Planted Tank Discussion
    Hello so I'm getting back into the hobby. I've previously had nano reef tanks and african cichlid tanks. Both were great but, salt water was too costly and too much work and african cichlids required more tank then I have room for, thus I landed on setting up a 30 gallon community tank. Going to...

    This Journey into this hobby has brought me far, and quick, now I'm trying to learn, and get better as fast a possible, how good is that for me? I don't know. I have a much larger tank in the works, but for the short term, I'm working on a Low-Tech, planted 40-gallon rimless aquarium that will...

    I have been told and have read that some special of puffers do well in a community tank. But, when I read about the different species of puffers none appear to play nice with others. Does anyone know if there is a puffer that lives well in a freshwater community tank? Our tank has the...
  13. Shrimp & Other Invertebrates
    Hello, I am not a active breeder nor really plan on it I just like having a lot of shrimps in my 30 gallon community tanks. I purchased 18 "yellow Bee shrimp" which I'm under the impression are just a fancy name for yellow neos. I have a cherry tank as well, but my yellows keep only throwing...
  14. Shrimp & Other Invertebrates
    I'm working to stock a 29g planted community tank and have been contemplating adding shrimp for a while now. Currently, there are aout 15 MTS, a bunch of ramshorn and bladder snails, 2 nerites, a mystery snail, a school or corys (6), and a school of lambchop rasboras (8). The plants...
  15. Shrimp & Other Invertebrates
    Hi there! I set up a 165 litre (43.6 gallon) community tank in late august with cherry shrimp, ember tetras and rummynose tetras and I didn't really care about breeding any of them or anything. However, today I found two of my cherry shrimp carrying eggs and even though I didn't initially care...

    Hey everyone, Happy Friday! I could use a little advice about a situation that has developed in my 75 g community tank. Two of my sub-adult angels (bodies about half-dollar size) have paired off, claimed 1/3 of the tank as "theirs", covered the green intake tube of the Eheim 2217 with eggs, and...

    Hi all, Just recently got into community tanks! And I have a lot of questions... the big one is I think I have a bully problem! The fish store I got all my fish from is a sort of mom/pop shop that is slightly more expensive than petco but with much higher quality fish and knowledge! . The cool...
