My big baby "bertha"
riparium, mostly silk under water, I had to remove the hairgrass (silly barbs) but it is running a live anubias nanna, some water wisteria and some Anacharis under the water line.
above the water line (bare root in tank) are 2 peace lilly, A nephytis and a metric tone of golden pothos.
running day night and above tank lighting, (all on timers). (above tank light is full spectrum)
this tank is going to be my semi aggressive tank and is currently home to 5 tiger barbs, a neon blue dwarf gourami (he was pulled form my 10 because the platies were beating him up...yet the tigers don't bother him at all lol), 6 rosey barbs, a couple of peppered cory and a rubber lip pleco.
this is the tank I was having major nitrate issues with...
about 50 million 50% water changes later...lots of live plants added above and below...and frustration I seem to have it under control and running healthily now :P
10G
my 10 gallon riparium.
this tank is a livebarer tank now, home of 3 sunset and 3 golden mikey mouse platies...the gourami had to be moved when the platies started beating the snot out of him :/
the hairgrass was also taken out as the platies decided it needed to be pulled and just kept letting it clog up the filter...
running this tank with 2 wendetii crypts, and an anubias nanna.
above the water line is marbled pothos, golden pothos, some kind of ivy, a phaleanopsis orchid whos JUST starting to drop its flowers :/ its LOVING this setup, its been in flower since December!) and not in this picture a reacently added peace lily (saphilliums seem to realy love these riparium setups.)
this one has a full spectrum grow light too
running a small filter but the roots of the above water level plants are doing most of the work.
The Newest edition "ZEN"
other than the silk cherry blossoms in the back this tank is all live, id consider it my first attempt at actually aquascaping with live plants inteads of just adding some for filtration needs
5.5 gallon running a hob and led lights, heat, sand and pearl/gravel substrate.
shes technically a riparium
under waterline, 6 small Water wisteria, a metric tone of hairgrass (rescued form my landscape designing platies in the 10 gal and the barb in he 55 lol) some helferi and a wendetii crypt, Dual, 3 pieces of "lucky bamboo" and above 1 Philadendron bare root, species unknown (silver speckled leaves)
this is a brand new tank home to "Frankie" my new Dumbo Half Moon Betta.
im thinking of adding either a trio of cory or some shrimp to this tank eventually, but not sure yet. gotta give it time to get settled in
im also running 2 2.5 gallon betta tanks, both low teck systems (bowls with live hairgrass and lucky bamboo and peace lilly
need to get new pics of them.
total gallons in my 150sqft space 75.5
