In light of recent events, I’m going to try and cheer myself up with thinking about this tank. I recently did a hard trim on it so its going to take a few weeks to grow back and look 100% pretty again, but its doing well.

Current Fish/Inverts
· Paracheirodon simulans – “Green Neon Tetra” x7
· Brachygobius doriae – “Bumblebee Goby” x6 (might be 4 now though)
· Planorbis arnoldi – “Mini Ramshorn Snail” x#
· Planorbarius corneus *– “Ramshorn Snail” x#
· Melanoides tuberculata - “Trumpet Snail” x#
· Foreground
· Eleocharis belem - “Dwarf Hairgrass”
· Mid-Ground
· Hygrophila sp. ‘Brown’
· Cryptocoryne becketii petchii
· Background
· Nymphaea zenkeri – “Tiger Lotus”
· Rotala rotundifolia var. ‘H’ra’
· Persecaria sp. ‘Kawagoeanum’
· Rotala sp. ‘Nanjenshan’
· Rotala sp. ‘Vietnam’
· Surface
· Ricciocarpus natans – “Purple Root Floater”
· Fissidens fontanus – Fissidens
· Riparium
Fittonia albivenis

I want to replace the belem since its not doing so hot, and I want to add some RRF and a black background, but otherwise I like how this tank is going. As far as livestock goes, I’d want to add two horned nerites at some point and maybe some more green neons since they are still very shy (which makes the tank a little boring to look at).

Anyways, here are pictures.



Dw, it will grow back.

This is doing very nicely.
Rotala sp. ‘Vietnam’ may not be working out the best in this tank, but for not its fine. I’ll remove it later.

Can’t end without a pic of one of these. Easily one of my favorite nano fish.
