My tank

Thats a crazy amount of big fish to be in a 15g tank. I have been guilty of over stocking but a big tank with small fish not a small tank with big fish.
At that time they were all quite small, I knew they would have a larger home before they grew up. But you're right it was quite crowded in there, I would have never tried it without the constant flow of fresh water.

yea the new tank looks great and a good size for your fish. Those congo tetras got BIG as they do.
Thanks,
Yes they do, I gave them to a friend with a 120 Gal because they developed a taste for my Anubias in this tank and I don't consider this tank to be a salad bar, if they occasionally nibbled that's one thing but these guys were eating most of the leaves.

Thanks for the compliments, but I disagree, this tank is not a high tech tank and requires almost no maintenance other than trimming. This is a soil substrate tank, I dig up some topsoil from my yard, amend it with some compost and dolomite, dump it in the tank cover with gravel or sand, then plant. I use plants that like the conditions, if they don't grow simply find something else that will.
I do have pressure C02 on this tank but I keep the levels low compared to high tech tanks.
I have ignored this tank for months on end and only had to trim things up afterwards.
So yes you can have a tank like this...
