Hello! New to the forum, but I've been keeping fish for about 4 years. I have two tanks.

150 Gal (see first photo)
This is a blackwater tank with lots of driftwood and tannins. Designed to mostly mimic that of a river. I have a couple of WaveMakers setup that my Bosemani Rainbows and Gold Gourami love to school in.

On the calmer and darker side of the tank I have a BGK and Striped Raphael that like to spend their time in rock caves.

Other stock include a school of Orange Venezuelan Corys, Bolivian Rams, gorgeous Red Sternella Pleco (who never comes out of hiding 😔), and the latest addition a purple mystery snail.

8 Gallon (see second photo)
This is a newer tank. I imported my first fish from Indonesia, a red copper koi betta. He's my latest pride and joy. Affectation called "Passport" for his long travels through customs to the U.S.

I have a few gold cloud minnows in the tank, as I'd planned to eventually move them to another tank, but they seem to get along just fine with Passport. He's not very aggressive or territorial.

I also have one Nerite in this tank, but planning to bring in a pair of Amano shrimp as well.

This is my first nano tank and nanoscape, so looking forward to seeing it grow out over the next few months!

Thank you! I've determined this is as large as I can go without needing a wet suit to climb into the tank for cleaning 😜

This tank is as deep as my little arms can reach haha
