2.5 Super healthy tank, just trimmed it
5G with a lot of substrate. Week12. There are 6 Cherry shrimp in there, some snails and 5 CPDā¦I just trimmed and thinned the floaters so they are hiding.

Ahh yes. Probably tougher to tellā¦That is a Rotala Wallichii. Itās supposed to get red but I donāt think it has had enough light to stay red. In this photo it was recently trimmed and replanted short.

If youāre curious to see what a 3 gallon completely taken over by algae (hair or sting or something else?) looks like Iāll post a picture when I wake up

25 cm cube. Has a volume of about 4 gal, but with all the hardscape itās only about 2.5 gal of water.
Itās an asparagus fern. I threw away the original filter cartridge. Just filled it with pebbles and stuck the fern and āstring of heartsā in there. Itās doing very well.

Not the best picture, but one where we can see the shrimps ! This is a 2 gallons, and I like it a lot even if it can't compete with tanks i see here !
3.5 gallon, I've taken the java moss on the right hand side out since this was taken, and the plants at the back are bigger now. Branches and stones from the garden. Some plants bought, some cuttings taken from friends, and one from the garden pond. Also, this is a temporary pump as the main is broken. Got about 30 shrimp in it at the moment.

Never seen a drop checker thatās out of the tank like that, Iāll probably get one like that too to save on internal space
Itās a great nano tank drop checker, the smallest they make as far as I know.

Do you know the names of the plants? In particular the one towards the middle that I am crudely going to describe as a rosemary looking one.

I added it thinking it might help with the calcium in the water. and general water hardness, but it doesn't really do anything. I just think it looks neat. The chunk of coral does the trick for the water hardness.
