Here’s photos of the two tanks. First 3 are of the 55g and the other two are of the 20 long. I need to get some swords, fern, and anubias for both tanks. Both are a work in progress. Don’t mind the background of both tanks. I couldn’t get the stains off. Ignore the random Pokémon on the filter. E0A6327A-5A6D-45A9-8FD0-D95DA42DEFB0.jpeg

I will not ignore that Starly! I will enjoy him =]

I like the rocks and sticks in both tanks, I think you have some good materials to work with for hard scaping. I think both tanks may benefit from a little sand if you're going to have so many bottom dwellers. But that's just my opinion.

I bought some small amazon swords and anubias for the 55g, also picked up an albino bristlenose pleco and 6 Black Neons. Currently letting them settle down before I get some photos of them.

Now for the 20 long. I have two zebra danios in the tank that were in the 55g, so might just add more danios. They might be fast enough to get away from the kribensis.

The tetras had settled down and so has the pleco, which cleaned off two rocks that were covered in algae when I left for work. Both were clean when I came home. Guess he/she is very happy in its new home.
I did pick up two decent looking small angels at the LFS I used to work at. Here’s a few photos of the fish from the 55g.

The two rocks here looked like the rock in the picture below this one.

I switched gears for the 20g long, went with zebra danios instead of the serpae tetras. I’m stuck between Peppered or Panda corydoras for the 55g, I could do 4 of each. Also have to find the bumblebee catfish, but they seem hard to find.

Tank updates!
The fish are doing very well in the 55g. My two angels no longer hide and are very active. They are starting to beg for food. The tetras are hiding slightly, but once I add more, I think that would stop. The baby bristlenose cleaned the entire tank of algae in the last few weeks. I got him some wafers and might give him a slice of cucumber later.

The 20g long is doing well to, I have about 11 zebra danios, 5 are of the glo fish (my frind wanted them, one is normal but mixed with the yellow glow of the glo fish). I had special ordered Kribensis at the LFS I used to work at, checked them out the other day and they looked great!
