Anyone else have an aquarium?

I used to have a tiny one way back when and just this past year I've gotten back into them and I find it such a chill, addictive hobby. Very much underestimated how cool taking hash hits and watching the fish could be. Even the plants are cool to watch shoot off new runners for baby plants.

If anyone else has one you should post pictures and details

40 Gallon
Fish:
9 Black Neon tetras
2 Siamese Algae Eaters

Inverts:
5 Red Cherry Shrimp
1 Apple Snail

Plants:
Bacopa
Rotala
Italian Valis.
Dwarf Hairgrass
Hygrophila Angustifolia

Used to have a pretty big Angelfish but nematodes got her a month ago so I started from scratch. Now I've got 2x39w HO T5's and DIY CO2 going in the tank.

The rock in this picture isn't in the tank anymore, I found it at the beach and rinsed it off well and soaked it, however I think its fossilized coral, which is calcium carbonate, so fearing the pH rise I took it out. Bummed me out though cuz the shrimp looked so cool in it's caves and pockets.

When I'm positive this tank has no nematodes two angelfish are destined for it.

looks very nice. you should get some nice wood or rock decorations in there though, seems like tons of empty space. also are you sure thats 40 gal? because it looks pretty damn big.

i have a 29 gal tank in my room, unfortunately it got some horrible disease and killed off all my fish except for one. however before that, i had

-7 tiger barbs
-7 black neon tetras
-1 clown pleco
-1 siamese algae eater
-1 bamboo shrimp
-1 golden gourami

the only fish that survived was the gourami. i started adding medicine into the water but it was too late for all the fish . just waiting a few weeks now to make sure the infection is gone for good before i start adding some new fish. i dont have any live plants though, although i might get some in the future.

the gourami is very cool though, he was my favorite fish and i'm glad he survived. he was the biggest and brightest one at the store, and he's so interesting to watch. he's always on the move, always doing something. lately i've been trying to teach him to let me pet him too lol. i don't have a pic but here's a pic of a golden gourami from google:

Tank sounds pretty nice, I'v always wanted to do a planted tank. Maybe ill set up my 29g and do one. Right now i have a 55g with 3 red belly pirahans, and a common pleco.
The plecos name is Bubbles, and the pirhans names are Pinky, pancake, and goblin. All of them are camara shy so its hard to get a good picture, they range in size from like 5-7in.

piranhas?
damn.... lol


anyway, i used to have a tank when i was a child, i dont anymore but the idea of taking a few hits and sitting in front of a tank to watch them does sound interesting

I've always wanted this pair of blue gouramis my store has but haven't gotten around to it. I'm actually been looking for some drfitwood, my fish store has some but because of shipping to the store the price is ridiculous but maybe I'll try the internet.

That picture is at an angle where it looks huge but the right end of the tank is pretty much at the far right of the picture, just barely cut off. It's a 40 gallon breeder, 36"x18"x16".

Thats awesome! What do you feed them? I bought my tank used and the guy before me had a red bellied pacu in it. I really like the planted aspect though, I feel it makes it look natural, balances out the water chemically, and gives fish places to hide. Although that driftwood in there looks like it gives them an awesome place to hide.

Its really chill, like an entirely different world right in front of you when your stoned.


Snails are a trip to watch too.

Their normal diet consists of freeze dried krill and fresh tilapia from the market. I tried getting them on pellets but its hard to get piranhas to eat pellets, would save me money if they did.. I give them live food once in a while, maybe once a month. I'll get them a fuzzy or 2 (small feeder mouse). I don't really like giving them live food though because it makes a MESS. The local pet store where i live has 3 massive red bellied pacus, those are really cool fish. Their basicly oversized piranha without teeth.

When I was little we had a 55 gallon and a 35. In the 55 we had all different kinds of Oscars, black and red, white and orange... I loved watching them when we fed fed them live goldfish and ghost shrimps. In the 35 we had pictus catfish and a few other fish. I miss having aquariums

Whoa I bet the feeder mice are crazy to watch, do they spit out the fur or anything?

I've always wanted to have some kind of predatory fish and then have a second tank for raising feeder fish and then never having to buy live food. Or it would be cool if you had the two fish together, where the feeder fish bred enough to keep a stable population but also fed the bigger fish?

I also have a love for paludariums (half water half land), although I've never gotten around to making one.

I love those.
I´ve been planning on making one with fish in the water and poison dart frogs on the dry part.



Awesome animals right?


Currently I have a Takashi Amano inspired aquarium. It's very small (27 liters) and only has one species of small fish and some small shrimp in it.
It looks a little like this:

oh and i agree, watching your fishtank stoned is super relaxing and super interesting. i could sit there for hours lol

here's a shitty phone pic of my aquarium before everything died...
