Mini Underwater Garden

[Larkspur]

~~Tank is overstocked and I'm aware of this and in the process of fixing the issue...please no rude comments. Thanks!~~~

Inhabitants:
3 tiger barbs, (albino, green, normal)
3 zebra danios (normal, albino long-fin, leopard long-fin)
1 male guppy
2 otocinclus
1 albino BN catfish

Plants:
Java fern...lots and lots of java fern
Amazon sword
One mad Banana plant

I used to have ornaments in the tank, but they just took up too much space in such a small tank. Ended up removing all of them and now just have plants and fish.

Here is my tank in "stages"

Cycling the tank about a year ago

About a month later. I was trying to electrocute myself **points to the lid in the corner that belongs to smaller tank**

Another month or so later...

Today (Note the blue color on the thermometer and sealant is because of the Malachite Green I am using to treat for Ick...ew)

Sssh...you don't see her.

Nice plants, they look very healthy. Congrats!

Thanks! I have/had a little bit of trouble deciding on plants because I use salt in the tanks and some plants don't tolerate it well. I thought about getting java moss, but right now I think I am pretty much as full as I can get. When the 29 gallon is set up I'll be out and about searching for more plant species.

Great looking tank whats the plant on the right of the top picture called?

 

[Larkspur]

The first picture is plastic plants only. I can't remember what the right one is called, but it's something I wouldn't mind in my tank.
