RULES:
A picture uploaded via our "attach files" tool with a handwritten note held in front or attached to your tank with "April 2025 TFF TOTM" written on it is required to validate your entry. If you wish, you may post either a second recent picture OR a video (not both) without the note attached. (If you post a 2nd pic or video, that pic or video will be displayed as your entry post in the poll). Right under the pictures or the video, post a nice detailed write-up of your tank.
**The write up should include a good description of your tank including size, age of setup, fish stocking, water parameters, ferts used, lighting, filtration type, aeration, tank maintenance procedures, feeding schedules, etc.

This is my 90L tank (23Gal). It was set up at the end of January last year and is home to my group of Sawbwa resplendens along with some Amano shrimp. Equipment includes a simple canister filter, a Sponge filter, 100W heater, Chihiros B60 and a small pump for extra water flow. Feeding is usually once a day, using Bug bites and the occasional frozen copepods. Water changes are minimal nowadays compared to when first set up, & every week or two, I pick at the thread algae and scrape the glass just to tidy the tank up. As for the plants.. There are too many to list here, so I'll do an updated list on the Tanks Journal at a later date. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching its progression since setup.

This here is my latest Walstad.
Every now and then I like to come back to the simplicity of a Low Tech, No Fert, No filter, No Co2 No Heater aquarium.
Current inhabinents are 12 White cloud minnows and a colony of bloody mary shrimp.
I started this aquarium just a few months ago.
The bloody mary shrimp don't need heat and neither do the White clouds.
This was my first time keeping White cloud mountain minnows, and I must say, I am quite impressed with their behavior as well as their colors.
They are probably the friendliest fish I have right now. They will eat from my fingers.

Flora:
Dwarf hair Grass
Hornwort
Moneywort
Ludwigia Red

Uploading verification pic later.



Whos next?

We have only two entries so far. We still have room for 8 aquariums.
If you don't enter your 17-30 gallon aquarium now, you won't be able to enter it for two more months.
