Ok I have ordered some backing and a couple other things hopefully in a week or so I’ll update this post! Also to everyone that gave feed back thank you!

Ok thank you! It’s been going through a time with all the pest snails in there but hopefully that will help it bounce back.

I am only 14 so still kinda a beginner and I wanted some fellow planted tank people to look at what I did and tell me if anything looks planted too deep or anything! I recently dived into aquascaping when I went from 2 tanks to 5 on a rack (4 new) after I got my job! So far I have found it fun...

I helped my dad keep a 180 gallon full of cichlids and now, even though I don’t get to see him anymore, I have 5 thriving aquariums of my own! So, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people got into the hobby through family.

I already have pretty good tanks but nothing is perfect so give me some ideas! I know none of them have backings but I will probably not be adding any. All tanks have hob filters and live plants! 3 gal only had two cherry shrimp. Any input welcome!

Here is an update on how the checkerboard barbs and golden ram are looking!

So far everyone is alive and I believe I have seen at least a bit of improvement across the board! My golden ram barely picked up the spots his tank mates have and they haven’t gotten any worse so I think all my fish are going to be ok! The only one I am worried about is the betta in quarantine...

Unfortunately I have run into yet another road block. I leave for camp in a week and will be gone for a week. I can have my mom take care of my fish to some extent but she is only so reliable and idk if she would be able to follow medication requirements like “do a water change after 48 hours”

It was rescued from another persons tank, they had two bettas and two bristle nose placid in a ten gallon, no water changes. After one betta died the tank was gifted to me. I would not be surprised if he did have fin rot and looking closer he definitely might! He was put in a quarantine tank...

Update!!! Betta has been made priority and placed in quarantine with salt, little to no food, and ich cure. He is in heavily oxygenated water aswell and it is heated.

The betta was also previously with wood which I believe did not help with the fins you can see that the wood has been removed. I have been keeping them in the cleanest water I can without over doing it. He has been absolutely fine before the guppies were added and both of the tanks got ich after...

You can see his fins are a bit torn he is a rescue that I have had for close to a month now

Here is a much better picture of the betta

Both tanks do have plant substrates I use fluval bio stratum and both tanks are very new (about a week for the one with the small fish and 2-3 for the betta) but they were cycled with old media and dosed with quick start. All the water was dechlorinated and any heavy metals were removed. Today I...

UPDATE: I have added super ich cure and removed carbon filters

I just got most of these fish and they appear to have a white dusting and I am hoping it’s ich but am looking for some more opinions! I am currently dosing with salt, feeding less, leaving lights off, and raising temp any other ideas?

Alright thanks! Def going to put some pothos in that aquarium bc I also have an issue with some algae so it sounds like it might help with that type of stuff!

I have not lid on this aquarium but do you think if I put a pothos on it or something of the sorts it could over run the fungus/mold?

It is sticking out of the water btw

I think that is might be some sort of fungus or something but looking for input and how to get rid of it!

For the green killing machine if your getting shrimp and snails you probably won’t need it unless it’s the algae that turns you water green. If you want you could take it just to case but you most likely wouldn’t use it. For plants (also a plant lover here) I love Amazon swords as a starter...
