20 gallon fresh water planted cherry barb tank
1 rainbow shark {who has recently turned nocturnal, he use to not mind the light}
1 CAE almost big enough to be taken out
7 female cherry barbs
6 male cherry barbs
and 1 harlequin rabarosa

All real plants with sand substrate no co2 and low 18w light, aqualclear 150 hob, and a heater ..... yesh i do plan upgrades for this tank!
I don't know all the names of the plants but theres some java moss under a rock in the corner and some java ferns and some others the reed looking plant in the front right recently died after treating hair algae with excel

Nice tank

Everytime I see someone with a sand substrate I want to change my substrate back to sand (was sand in a previous setup). I knew I liked sand but, noooooo, I had to try something different!

Hows the CAE work for algae?

the cae works great for algae ! I had some hairmoss in the tank the barbs ate most of it but he finished it now its no more !


I dont know what type of sand it is but i want more , It makes me want to redo my other tanks
