Wells - September 2020 Tank of the Month Winner (16 US gallons and smaller)

[Fishmanic]

We have a winner in Fishforums.net
September 2020 Tank of the Month Contest​

We had 10 awesome tanks entered in this month's TOTM contest featuring tanks sized at 16 US gallons and smaller. But only one could win...

And the winner is.......


Wells
Let's all congratulate him

Here's the winning tank and its description

​

The setup is a Fluval Flex 57l, recently rescaped and will be a betta home eventually while I get a larger tank set up to give the little guys a new home.

Soil substrate with dwarf hair grass foreground, unsure of the exact name of the hardscape but sure its 2 pieces of seiryu stone and some driftwood coming in between down to the front.
Some crypts to the right, amazon sword in the back, and some Anubis and java ferns. I forget the name of the reddish plants to the left and right.

Fish stock is 9 harlequin rasboras, 3 fancy guppies, 3 red cherry shrimp, 1 nerite snail, and the latest edition dwarf gourami named Gavin.

Congrats to Wells for your Fluvel Flex 57 litre well laid out tank. Well deserved win.

Coming in second place is Adorabelle Dearheart with her 15.7 gallon nicely planted tank. There was just one vote separating you from the winner.

Coming in third place is AilyNC with her interesting 16 US gallon gallon tank. Very nice decor.

For those who didn't win or didn't enter, please enter a future TOTM contest. Next month we will feature tanks sized at 17 to 30 US gallons. So work on your tanks and get ready to enter October's Tank of the Month contest.

Remember: it's not whether you win or lose that is important, what's important is that you participate in our contests.

Right now, the Pet of the Month contest is running. If you a have a pet in your household besides fish, we hope you will enter it in the POTM contest.

Congratulations Wells - beautiful tank and lovely looking fish.

It's always a hard choice to make when casting my vote - you had stiff competition. Well done.

Oh wow, that was a close one, thanks to those who voted, I'm a little surprised as there were so many good entries this month!

Had some small changes since the entry if anyone is interested in seeing:

Rescaped my fluval, thoughts on before and after?

This is where it was from when I first got it, I tried planting carpet plants but they didnt take very well probably from my lack of co2! I also made a mistake of planting my nubias and Java fern in the soil. This had more of an overgrown jungle vibe i thought. Decided I would rescape and try...
