This is my 29 gallon planted Goldie tank featuring my water babies (a baby black Ranchu and a baby red cap Oranda). The Ranchu is named jellybean. He is all joy and wiggles and loves people (he was scared of people when I first got him, but he quickly overcame the fear?).
The Oranda is named Rohira. He is pretty chill. He likes people, but he is smarter and more tactful about it. He is the laid back one that knows he’s the prettiest. This tank is also home to a school of Kuhli loaches and also a few cherry shrimp who live in the breeder box (temporary shrimp housing till I can get them their own place).

The tank is pretty heavily planted (vals, a huge crypt, some rotala, moss balls, a few Java ferns, Java moss, duckweed, pothos growing out the top, etc,) so perimeters are consistently 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 2ish nitrates (between 0 and 5 ppm). PH is 8.0.

The tank is heated to 75 because I’m trying to get these Goldie babies to grow out nice wens and the loaches like it warm as well.

Lighting is a full spectrum Aquaneat LED.

I fertilize with flourish and osmocote root tabs (which the vals go crazy with).

It’s filtered with a 200gph SunSun HOB, a large sponge filter and a tetra whisper 10 for the bio media.

Hope you guys enjoy this tank as much as I do! Thanks for reading.

It's my first planted tank and it's really sparked my interest in aquascaping and aquatic plants. It's a very peaceful tank with fish and shrimp living side by side and it's pretty low maintenance too. Anyway here's some info on the setup!

The tank has been running for around a year and 5 months. It is moderately tannin-stained from driftwood, catappa leaves, alder cones and other botanicals. Among the plants are java fern, anubias nana petite, rotala indica, bucephalandra, dwarf sag, limnophilla heterophylla and najas indica.

It is home to a pair of betta uberis and around 6 of their offspring (it’s difficult to tell how many as they tend to hide)
12 Sundadanio globinus
7 corydoras habrosus
1 pair of clown killies

The original pair of bettas won’t touch flake/pellets or frozen so I feed black worms, daphnia, fruit flies and in warmer months mosquito larvae when I can harvest them from a bucket of water in my yard. The rest get bugbites, frozen cyclops, daphnia and spirulina flakes.
I typically change 25% of the water every 2 weeks. I use R/O remineralized with Seachem Equilibrium and add 1 pump (2ml) of Thrive all-in-one liquid fertilizer.

Hope you like it!
