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

I'd bite.

Here's the 120cm x 30cm x33cm tank in my man cave, which should be about 30 US gallons as I leave about 3cm off the top to get the nice bubbly sound from the filter outlet (plus the glass itself is 1cm thick on all sides - hopefully I don't get disqualified!)

I call this my Iwagami Pots as I got bored with aquascaping and moved instead to fish keeping while trying to keep some of the principles from there. I really like the minimalistic open spaces look while also trying to provide hideouts at both ends for the little ones but they seem to have learnt that it's 100% safe and will often be seen scrounging for food in the middle portion of the aquarium. Won't lie either, it's easier to maintain and clean haha!

There's 5 venezuelan orange corys, 5 gold laser corys, 5 panda corys, 3 otocinclus and 3 panda loaches in there and the whole setup has been running for around 3 months now. I actually moved everyone and most of the plants in from two separate tanks that's been running for almost two years.

It's a basic setup - I live in the tropics so there's no heater, the lights are Week Aqua T90 Pro pendants, and there's a Fluval 407 hidden underneath the cabinet.

P.S. The tank itself is so long and low that it's really hard to get a clear picture of the fishes, so here's a video of them.
