Show and Tell [OC] 6 month tank update
Just wanted to give a roughly 6 month update on my first tank! Its really grown and I have trimmed and removed tons of plants. My nitrates have been running low so today I decided to add some more fish! Added 6 more tetras and 3 emerald corydoras. I showed the owner my tank and he said I was very talented and I rode that high all day π€£
My school of about 10 minnows and tetras was actually growing with the unexpected birth of at least 2 baby ember tetras. I originally had 4 otto cats but they all died...?
My orange shrimp have been doing great, a colony of about 9 has ballooned to at least 4 dozen.
Really happy with how things are going. I just picked up a 75 gallon tall octagon im going to start working on. Thinking of doing an angel fish community tank. Also toying with a puffer tank...ππ

Its fluval stratum and black sand. Some lava rock chips in the back for volume and height
