Ooops, just noticed my sig is actually wrong. The 30 and 20L were combined.
The sids, BN, and one oto were inhabitants of my 15 gallon when I was at school. I moved them into the 30 gallon (which was their original tank) this spring when I got home from and they'll be staying there until the fall so I guess that's what I mean by "holding". I'm either going to use that or the 20L this year since I'm out of the dorms but because it's only for a few months I figured I wasn't going to mess with any substrate. The only stuff on the bottom there is some fluorite that leaked from the pots. The rest of the stock was added from the $1 sale.
Yeah, those are crypts in the front there. Supposedly C. wendtii "bronze" and C. lucens but I got them from Petsmart so who knows. Also some vals in the back corner. It was looking so barren I decided to give the plastic flower pots a try since they were just being recycled at Home Depot anyways. Also gives more shape to the tank.
It's not really a photogenic tank but it works!
