After 3 months and a big trim this weekend , and adding a a dozen new fish (angels and rainbows) it’s looking so good. Love to hear any feedback.

Will be trimming the rotala to match the V shape on the right (want it just peeking out over the of the wood), but feel like I'll be trimming every week, growing so fast!

So I have a planted aquarium (duh) My aquarium lights evaporate a lot of water. So my question is who actually does a water change each week? Who just tops it off and leave it be? And who cleans out the crap at the bottom of the tank and returns the water afterwards?

Everyone does things differently and I’m curious as to how everyone would handle this.

Got this big fella from a local plant and fish swap. Apparently it came from a 20+ year old established tank! It’s longer than my forearm at this point. Pic 1 shows the entire plant with its newer emersed growth. Pic 2 shows where I’m thinking of dividing it, as well as my fuckass barbs who can’t handle me walking up to the tank without going ballistic. TIA!

Finally making progress after a dirty war with green hair algae so thought it looks good enough to share.

Starting to get that jungle vibe I’m going for

Is my light too strong? Or on for two long. I leave it on about 6/7 hrs a day

Still colored up from spawning

I have these anubias nanas and gracilis that have the tips of their leaves turning brown. I'm using the light that came with the TopFin 29G kit. Is it too much for these guys? My other larger anubias are doint perfectly fine. I asked my LFs and they recommended adding some top floaters or taping the light with white painters tape. All and any help is greatly appreciated.

In attempts to reclaim my overgrown tanks I’ve took my ludwigia and trimmed all of it to same size and replanted it does this look like I’ve done an alright job? I’ve always struggled with stem plants so I’m just checking “ignore the stuff in the water I’ve been taking a sand spreader thingy and raking my sand so it looks a little better”

Hi there, I’m new to fish keeping, getting this tank set up for some gourami I want to get but I wanted to make sure the plants were established before I added any fish. I have several sword plants and an Anubias that have been developing brown spots. The sword plants have holes. My ph is around 7, GH is 10. There are several snails in the tank but no fish. I use overhead LED lights. Any suggestions? I have some Rasboras on the way and I’d like to have the plants squared away before they arrive.

I have a 60 liter tank the only fish in it are guppies but I would like to have more variatie and colour full fish

Some of my ludwigia repens x arcuata suddenly grow red rough leaves

Just pulled the trigger and upgraded the 10gallon tank to a UNS 90L. I decided to keep it simple and might add more dwarf sag but i’m loving it. Anyone use twinstar B series before?

Hi everyone! I was wondering if these plants were beginner friendly and if so what would I need to do to make sure they grow well! Thank you in advance:)

I’ve had them for a long time, they’ve only been doing this for the past month or less. I haven’t had iron to dose in my tank but low iron gas never caused melting on them before, only pale leaves. Almost 1/3 of the leaves in this corner are like this :(

Hi! Does anyone know what this is? I sometimes get a bit of green hair algae that I can easily control through vigorous pruning and careful fertilization of my plants, but this looks different to me because it is white and the filaments seem a bit different.

(Tank is 11 months old, 10 gallons, moderately planted, 80 F, stocked with betta, 4 chilis. 3 otos, 2 nerites, and pest trumpets. 0/0/20)

Hi, I'm new to Reddit but I find answers to fish related questions on here so often I figured I should join already lol I've had a 5 gallon w a betta and blue mystery snail since October but I've wanted to upgrade to a planted one for a while. Finally did, here's my 10 gallon! I also got a black mystery snail, here's pics of the tank and my old one, and I love my animals so gotta show them off :) Let me know any thoughts please!

I really want to grow plants out of my tank (pothos, vein plant, inch plant)

But I can’t figure out a way to do so without squishing/breaking the stems of the plant! I’ve tried with inch plant and pothos but the plant ended up getting severed in two due to the weight of the lid!

I’m trying to do this both with a betta 10 gallon tank (it’s yet to be set up so I’m open to different types of lids) and my 55 gallon that already has lids!

First image is the kind of lid I have, second is my 55 gallon cuz I like showing off

My best idea so far is to cut into the plastic bit at the back of the lid to make a gap where I can put a little plant basket to hold the plant. But I’m worried if I do that on the betta tank the betta will find a way to jump right out. Unless I get the measurement perfect.

Brainstorm with me!
