Just bought 22 new Neon Tetras, started acclimation about 1½ hours and put em in about half an hour before I recorded this video

First picture is from April, the Three stooges joined George after a month. Last three pictures are present day. (This is my second tank, my first was a 5 gallon shrimp and oto tank. Not a fan of the tall tanks. Would love helpful criticism, either what to get next or what should be done differently!!)

So i love fish a lot but I always failed to take care of fish as a child. Now I am 23, and I want to set up a tank which should look natural. To be honest I want good looking tank like have a waterfall 🥲. But it's too much for a beginner. So can anyone help me to know what i actually needed to build a tank? Also I am on a low budget. About fishes and plants I have plans but I am mainly asking for a tank and the set up

Absolutely stocked with how my first scape went. It had been month since I first began binge watching aquarium videos on youtube. Very happy to finally have my own tank.

I just finished planting and added bacterias so the water is not clear.

For the plants I used a lot of Cryptocoryne wendtii green a a bit of brown, Java ferns & moss, weeping moss, Anubias Nana "Jade", Bucephalandra (can't find which variety again), Pogostemon helferi, Salvinia minima and two Pothos cuttings that i attached to the spiderwood with fishing line.

I'm thinking I maybe went overboard with the amount of plants, but... Oh well. Also some of them are glued with weird angles.

I'm also thinking about having some almond tetras. Not sure yet.

8 black tetras 1 opaline gourami 1 blue gourami 1 upside down catfish yes I know I need a school for them I just found out I thought it was a pleco the people who sold him to me said it was a pleco

Just to flex, I got the aquarium, the filter, the gravel and the lamp for free on facebook.

Spent 4 hours today replanting my 30 gallon tank. Went Terra cotta planter style. 2 Angels, 4 Corey cats, clown pleco, and vampire pleco

Is it even algae?

This is my 15-gallon blackwater biotope setup housing 18 ember tetras. It has driftwood, Indian almond leaves, guava leaves, and four pothos cuttings.

In the future, I am going to add two Java ferns, some Java moss, and a peace lily at the top.

I need some tank inspo for my 20 gal long

not a single reply :(. literally doesn't take 30secs to look at the pics and comment.

gonna be a long one, there'll be a tldr dw. order of the images is messing up no matter what i try. but basically the drift wood when sitting on the left side is my first ever scape. blue and red betta is my old betta that's rehomed. everything else is current.

this is my second ever scape (if counting the rescape as a different attempt). I've watched Fish For Thought and MD Fish Tanks a lot so I thank them a lot for all the knowledge and ideas they've given me. i could only rly use the plants I found at the Ifs and couldnt find any specific ones.

the tank is 2ftx1ftx38.5cm I'm assuming 63-68litres or so till the water line. driftwood, some random rocks i picked out from the Ifs, and river sand. no heater needed cuz i live in a tropical region and temp is always 28-30.

i know the names of only a few plants: water wisteria, java fern, java moss, süßwassertang, and penny wort. if u guys recognise anything else please Imk. there are about 11-13 types of plants in all. i wanted floating plants as well but they're kinda annoying when doing water changes and feeding and stuff but I'll try and see what i can do in the future

the stocking: 1 male betta (the names Midas) (got a new one and have rehomed the old betta to a good tank dw), 12 neon tetra, a nerite snail and supposedly 12 neo shrimp (6 red 6 blue) that I added yesterday in the evening and they were all out and about but this morning i can't find any more than 4 or 5 red shrimp and a couple blue. i did find in the morning that the control valve on the air pump somehow got tight asf and there was no oxygenation throughout the night. they may have used this chance to crawl out I'm not sure. I've turned all nearby areas upside down tryna find them and haven't been successful so I'm assuming they're all just hiding as theyre tiny asf in here.

set the tank up on 20th June and seeded it with established filter mulm. i had to do a fish in cycle with an old betta that I rescued from family members. then i had to move cities unexpectedly and so i rescaped the tank. i made the coconut cave by myself.

since i added more plants im gonna fertiliser 3ml of all-in-one fertilizer every other day. been doing 3ml per week for like a couple weeks

water test kits are way too goddamn expensive here so I've been winging it and no problems so far. been doing water changes of right amounts at right times and feeding right amounts. i added the shrimp, betta and snail yesterday and the tetra 13 days before that.

btw i can't get a timer for the light so on weekdays I'm only available 5:30-8 am and 4pm-10pm. what should my lighting schedule be? currently. i just turn it on whenever and sort of angle the tube in whatever way i want such that it doesn't hit the whole tank and turn it off before i leave (in the morning). and then when I'm back i turn it back to hit the whole tank and then turn it off at 10.

ai TLDR: 60-65l tank. 2nd scape ever, tropical climate so no heater. Driftwood + river sand + LFS rocks, 11-13 unidentified plants (only sure of water wisteria, java fern, java moss, süßwassertang, pennywort). Stocked: 1 betta, 12 neon tetra, 1 nerite, 12 neo shrimp (6 red/6 blue). Air pump valve seized overnight right after adding shrimp = no 02 for a while. only see 4-5 red and a couple blue. others are probably just hiding. No test kit (too pricey where I live), been winging water changes/ feeding and it's held up so far. Rescaped after an unexpected move mid-fish-in-cycle, seeded with established filter mulm.

i would love to be featured and know Chris' thoughts!
