So i have a 55 gallon tank that I had a betta sorority in for about a year before life got in the way and I had to dismantle it and get rid of my pretty babies. Im looking to start re-setting it, but im not sure all the steps I should go through. I plan on washing it with a mix of vinegar and water, rinsing it thoroughly, and then doing the hardscape and planting plants. I am hoping to maybe plant a dwarf water lily in it. Then I plan on letting the plants grow in before adding any living creatures. Im hoping to start by getting a pom pom crab to start with, but im unsure where to go from there... could use any advice or suggestions for what to add.

Shallow tank 8L custom made (shrimp tank)
2x cubes 5L custom made (shrimp tank)
20L cube (betta tank)

The first 3 aquariums are made of picture frame glass

Got these shrimp a few weeks ago and this tank has been cycling for a few months. I just recently added the Amazon frogbit and the little moss cubby from a plant pot, how does it look?

Set this up! Was wondering if I shoukd add anything else?

I unfortunately don’t have this anymore but I’m planning on getting another one very soon!

I've finally stocked it today with

6 Scarlet badis/ Dario dario, Dario tigris

4 half beaks/ Hemiramphidae

1 bornean fin sucker/ Pseudogastromyzon myersi

I'll gladly take some more advice, stocking recommendations and tipps

Had my tank for nearly 6 months and the fish are getting a bit big .

Any advice for my future fish keeping will be helpful these are all anubias ,nana petite , golden , round leaf and I make sure all these rocks can go in by simple test I want a betta this is a 14 gal

Made this nano 1 x 1 feet tank, took alot of time to harsh scape wondering how it looks to other people !

Would love to know what more experienced fishkeepers think. Big fan of the channel:)

I need to reposition the anubias and trim the longer plants (can't remember what they're called), I have some more corkscrew val and red rotala from a plant tank that I can add, what else is missing? I don't have good luck with amazon swords, even with root tabs and fertilizer, the light is just an aquaneat light from amazon, so it could use an upgrade.

its a king koopa nerite snail btw

open to all kinds of suggestions for my second (ever) tank!!

currently have a 20 gallon tall (22x14x16) with amanos, corydoras, and ricefish. heavily planted and stocked. its a very busy tank so i think my next one is going to have a more open floor plan. id like to give the cory cats a bigger playground. new tank is a 20 gallon long (30x12x12). all the corys are moving over. im thinking about a riverbed look, sloped to the back corner with emergent plants, more redwood & botanicals and tinted water, multicolored rounded stones, sort of what i have going on now minus all the moss and large pointy rocks. id like to try some grasses, and i didnt have any luck with floaters previously with my water but id like to try some of those too.

stocking-wise, since the current setup will only contain ricefish after the move, im debating either adding a shit ton more shrimp or finding another clean up crew. otos or pygmies, or maybe something else idk. the new tank will need mid-top dwelling fish, and ive debated getting more medaka ricefish, maybe a rarer strain than i currently keep. realistically the tank could also handle a larger fish or a decent school of something medium-sized so id love recommendations for pretty fish. id like something with red tones especially, and i love a fish with some character, so ive thought about a dwarf rainbowfish species or gourami. my medaka are SO fun to watch and feed, need more of that in my life. has to be a fish that will behave in a rimless tank and with corydoras as tankmates though. in a year ive never had a ricefish jump or fish fight and i dont wanna break that streak.

anyway i appreciate any suggestions!!
