Week 3
So after a bit of research and with some help from the lovely people at the local fish shop, my lil underwater garden is looking luscious and healthy!
I’ve chosen plants which are nitrate hungry. The LFS guy said that plants that are bought off online stores sometimes arrive so beat up that they usually can’t muster the energy to root. It might have been a pitch to sell me some plants but I found that he was right. All the plants I bought managed to take root within the week and are looking bushy and happy.
The Monte Carlo is now completely cleaned out and the Rotala also got trashed too. Instead we have water weed, water wisteria and hornwort as the background plants (all nitrate hungry fast growers) and we have Anubias on the rocks and Java fern by the filter. As the Hornwart grows, I chop the new shoots up into little bouquets held by lead weights. They function as new plants so I can keep filling in the background.
The best news of all; the tank is cycled! I’ll give it a week to see if it’s stable and then we can get some wet pets in there!!

The Wardian case topper is almost ready. I actually need to grind down the ends and the width of the top so it’ll fit nearly into the aquarium rim once soldered. But I’m still sick so I’ll pause here. But now I can see how pretty it will be once done.

Вчера был выходной. Так что я разобрал 2 аквариума, почистил и помыл от водорослей. Залил лекарством от водорослей растения и сушу сам грунт, аквариумы, дабы избавиться от заразы этой... По этой причине закралась мысля сменить оформление аквариума...

Теперь думаю... Оставить "горы", или сменить на "столбы/колонны"...

I thought color boost food was a gimmick but NO, LOOK AT THESE GUYS. My ember tetras have always been a pale, translucent grey-orange, and now they're actually turning bright orange. The neons are even getting darker grey and brighter red.
The bonus mosquitofish I got with some plants.... Still grey like she's supposed to be, but with slightly pink iridescence now.
[Video id: Small orange fish, grey fish with a bright teal stripe, and a fat little silver fish swim in front of a small white aquarium cave and through aquarium plants in a small tank.]
I'm finally gonna have colorful ember tetras.....

Well I tore down the old tank and set up this one. See what I mean about crazy silicone colours lol
It took me a while to catch all the fish and separate the males that were close to being mature. There were only 4 males out of the bunch the rest are all little ladies.
But yeah, I can't wait for this tank to fill in! Especially the vallisneria asiatica at the back. There is also a small portion of lilaeopsis brasiliensis that I'm hoping will fill in between the dwarf sag and give a varied texture. We shall see how it all goes!

Nano-aquarium, le guide complet pour débuter cette pratique
Qui n'a jamais rêvé un nano-aquarium luxuriant ? Voici un guide complet pour débuter cette pratique !
Un nano-aquarium, qu’est-ce que c’est ? C’est un écosystème aquatique, d’une capacité généralement comprise entre 10 et 40-60L. Aussi fascinants qu’accessibles, les nano-aquariums attirent de nombreux amateurs qui s’y attellent et prennent un grand plaisir au côté de ces petits espaces naturels. Ils sont adaptés à l’élevage d’espèces pouvant vivre dans de petits volumes ainsi qu’à l’aquascaping.…

This is the only snail in the betta tank who is wearing this level of algae. I’ve verified that it’s not harmful. Maybe it’s camouflage.  Or maybe it’s just a snail that likes to feel pretty.

the shrimp are more grateful for the playthings I give them than the dog and cats have ever been

Fish Wishes!
(Images aren’t mine, snatched from google)
Ok so I’ve thought about this for awhile and I’ve seen a couple of these guys in fish stores and done the research to figure out what’s going to be happiest in my 15G nano tank.
Honey Gourami as the centrepiece fish
When I see these guys iRL, they’re always inquisitive, swimming right up to things and then giving them a little pat with their feelers. They’re cute and interesting to watch. Generally considered a peaceful community fish but Reddit has been full of stories of them bullying their own kind until they die :< As they’re happy solo, I think I can give them a stress free life being the centrepiece fish of the tank with a few easygoing nano fish friends.
Tumblr media
Or Sparkling Gourami as the centrepiece?
I love the idea of Sparklers. I fell in love with the YouTube series from Foo the Flowerhorn where they set up a tank with sparklers and amanos. In reality I think it’s very risky for the amanos; I’ve had LFS guys and Reddit posts give me anecdotes about the sparklers eating shrimp or killing them off slowly by beating them into hiding. Let’s be honest, I do this hobby to relax. I’m not going to have violence in my tank! Such a shame as they’re so pretty. The image of these guys with their turquoise scales and a backdrop of a bunch of baby blue jelly shrimps would be soo cool but I know there would be suffering so it would never be worth it.
Nano fish
Celestial Pearl Danios
Excuse the shitty iPhone vid. Sometimes you just have to go to see some fish iRL to figure if you’re really going to love them.
I’ll tell you what, every time I see these guys in real life they make my heart flutter with how stinking cute they are. They have beautiful colours and are so small. The ones I’ve seen in store have been about 0.8” in length.
Chilli rasbora
These are another species that always catch my attention in person. Their little faces and big eyes are too cute to handle and their body shape looks like a miniature red shark. They’re also micro predators so they would have a great time gobbling up the creatures and loose eggs in the tank. Thankfully their mouths are too small to do any damage to shrimps!
Extras;
When I think of all the gross lil non-fish creatures I would enjoy in a tank, my mind always gravitates to cherry shrimp or amanos. With amanos I think i’d like the peace of mind to rely on these lil dudes to clean up the nastier hairier algae if it turns up.
However, a hoard of cherries swarming the tank and filling it with bright colours would also be so fun! Blue jellies are the cutest but bright orange ones look like you’ve got a tank full of pre cooked shrimp or living cheetos.
Anyways, that’s my fish wishes! Im not going to get every one of these fish, just a centrepiece fish, some skrimps if compatible and a small shoal of nano fish.
Next weekend I might go to the LFS and see what I can find, I’m so excited!

Кхм... Креветки чувствуют себя нормально... Потихоньку обживаются... 2 прозрачных, 1 вишня и 1 Амано...
Прозрачных называют снежинками, но как по мне, это настоящие приведения... Тут их 2, попробуйте найти).

New tank + this time it has a proper solid bottom. It's likely the fact I didn't have a solid bottom on the last tank was a potential cause of failure. It's currently living on an old textbook that I never read haha.
My vision of a nano shrimp tank will be realized so help me god. I'm surprised how sad the Java fern is looking, it's been melting a lot since the two tank transfers. I hope it can push out some new growth soon
