My Managerie of Tanks

[Anthony1976]

This will basically become my longterm photo dump for photos of my tanks and fish.

Questions are welcome.

I keep 6 tanks, plus a couple small set ups for shrimp (future) and snails.

First is my 1gal snail jar. Aerated and planted in a sunny window. In a few months ill add shrimp.

(Yes i am aware i overstock, but lots of filtration and manual labour keeps things in good shape)

Beautiful tanks works of art

Just some small tweaks on the 2 big tanks, and plant growth on the 55.

I want to do a 10 gal Nano Tank eventually. I want it heavily planted, with Ember Tetras, Microrasboras, and Cherry Shrimp... and now on that list is Sparkling Gouramis!

id just be sure to pick the shrimp OR the sparkling gouramis, don't do both. The sparklers will eat all the shrimp, adults and babies

What are the plants in the first one, the jar

What are the plants in the first one, the jar

Hornwort and salvinia but the snails have eaten all of the salvinia at this point haha

Home to a growing colony of ramshorn snails, a liver elimia snail (native), and a few Lymnea stagnalis snails.

I picked up a heck ton of water hyacinths from a local aquarist today. I've got a bunch in my 46g, a couple in my 55g, and the rest in a 20g tub out in the backyard.

The 46, I love how they shade the tank.

The 55

And just an update of my 20

My betta tanks.
Cheriko got herself a really lovely anubias barteri plant. She sleeps in it, loves it a lot. The roots on it are hugggeeeee

I had to redo my 1 gallon snail jar. Population grew so much it crashed. So I took it apart, moved the survivors to other tanks, set it back up with two Lymnea stagnalis snails.

46g blackwater. I killed off all my floaters haha....

Different angle view

55 gallon

Set this up for some cherry shrimp. Im getting a couple in a few weeks. The bowl itself has been running for months, holding excess snails lol so its established enough biofilm for shrimp grazing. Just added some plants to it and hardscape.
Planted a crypt wendtii sprout on the left side, anacharis in the back, and Christmas moss on the rocks, plus some straggling duckweed ill probably kill off.
Has a nerite snail currently just to keep it cycled until the shrimp arrive.
