Tank Updates

Ok so here are so updates of my tanks.

The 33g hasn't changed a whole lot. It is kind of boring right now but I will hopefully be changing it all around and planting it so it looks borning.

The 20g is boring as well but I will hopefully be getting some plastic plants but I wanted to get some real plants but the crabs will eat any vegetable material.

The 10g is the best. My plant growout tank. There are only 3 species of plant in there. The crypt, the java fern and the hygro thing.

The 1g is just a fun project to see how things will grow and they are growing good.

Thanks.

Good point I should add fish.

1g experiment tank - 2 feeder guppies 1 snail. Keep bacteria alive

10g plant grow out - about 6 feeder guppies and 10 snails to keep bacteria. I am thinking about a shrimp tank for it while growing out the plants.

20g brackish - about 50-100 feeder guppies (breed like CRAZY!), 4 fiddler crabs, about 20-30 ramshorn snails

33g - 2 blue gouramis, 1 kissing gourami, 2 swordtails, 3 black skirt tetras, 1 loach, corys, 4 clown plecos, 2 cherry barbs, 1 scissor tail rasbora, 2 white molleys, 7 glowlight tetras, lots of ramshorn snails. I know...some people will think that I am overstocked and I don't have enough fish for schools. The schooling fish were in schools but over the years some have died and it has broken down to what it is now.

But I, as of right now, don't really like the look of the 20g and 33g. Here soon after I get all of the stuff to plant the 33g it will hopefully look better and get rid of that green gravel. lol.

Thanks for sharing the pictures!! Do you just grow the plants and then put them in other tanks, or do you sell them, or what?

Right now I am trying to grow a bunch out so that I can have a nice clump in my 33g when I get it planted. I am also going to be getting a couple more plants to squeeze in the 10g to start growing them out some before I place them in the 33g.
