I'm working on a 40L (~10g) heavily planted tank and am having trouble finding a suitable light, a lot of the lights recommend online aren't available in Australia, hoping to stock the tank with chilli rasboras and cherry shrimp.

I just set up my planted tank last night to cycle. Im so pleased with how it came out!

I couldn’t find a dedicated sub for these awesome little guys so I thought this place was my best bet.
I’ve been keeping Emerald Dwarf Rasbora (Danio erythromicron) for a while now and thought they deserved an illustration of their own!

Hey beloved Aquascape-Community,
I'm brand new to the thing and am looking for some advice designing my Tank.
I already have an Idea and some materials, but since i dont want to change the design immidiatly i thought i get my self some advice from you guys!

My Tank ist 28x37x32 cm (HxLxW), ca. 33 L.
Planned Inhabitans are Blue Dream Shrimps and Snails.
Plantwise I figured to start easy (Java Moss etc.) and also look whats available around me through other aquarists.

So what i got for myself yet is:
- a small filter for the corner (wich i have no idea how to hide it yet)
- 5 kg of black gravel soil
- some tools
- rather small pieces pf dragonstone and wood (pictures).

For arranging it i already got some advice:
- the gravel should get higher in the back to create more depth (but is it already enogh or should i get more gravel?)
-put the bigger hardscape in the front to create depth
- and then there is the rule of 3 or the golden ratio wich i also understand but find it hard to implement with like very limited hardscape.

So i just arranged it a bit (photo) what do you think?
-should i add a fith piece of wood? (to get an odd number)
- what should i do with the rocks there are still some left. (you see the total amount ind the picture with the scale (cm) also the big wood piece is still leftover
- how should i hide the filter

this are my obviouse concerns, but I'm happy about any big or litte advice leading to more knowlege and more fun aquascaping!
Also things i didnt mention haha :)

Thank you all in advance already!

Hey nano tank friends - whatcha think of my nano table?

I set it up around 3 days ago and everything you see here is from another mature tank, just rearranged. I was gonna ask for some suggestions for the bare spot on the back right corner. I'm also pretty happy about the 2.5 foot val I grew. Im open to critiques and suggestions!

Hi,currently planning of building a nano tank for a 60x30x25cm tank and was hoping to get some stocking recommendation.

Thinking if getting some clean up crews
And some group of fishes.
And if its possible, a kuhli loach

It’s been over 7.5 months with my tank.
Currently I have 1 betta fish, 1 nederite snail and 2 African dwarf frogs.
So many changes over the time but still managed to keep it up going.
When does an aquarium can consider mature?

It’s about a gallon. I do not know why I’ve kept it for so long, but here we are. If I wanted to add life to it other than algae and duckweed and microbes unknown to science do I need an air stone?

Yes I realize the correct answer is to dump it and stop being weird.

Hi all, I'm going to be upgrading my Marimo moss balls into a 6l aquarium, I have fluval stratum for base and a sand to cap it off. I have 6 moss balls and was hoping to add some critters to keep the cycle going and prevent much intervention. I am not planning a filter for the tank. I was considering tubifex and daphnia. Is there anything else I could add or should consider. I am located in the UK

I raised two bettas in a bowl during my childhood; I realise now that was harsh, though I lacked awareness then. Today I have completed my first five-gallon planted tank and acquired my betta. He is a calm yet anxious fish who has not flared—except when I placed a mirror before him one day to test his response, and he did. He greets me whenever I approach, and I hope he enjoys the setup.

I plan to add more plants. I am considering reducing the beach on the left by adding some Aquasoil towards the back, leaving the beach only in the front left area.

Also, I would like some name suggestions if y'all have some interesting ones for my betta.

A week old now, love how it’s turned out 😍
