Hey guys, during the summer I have tons of outdoor ecospheres and mini tanks My Pygmy sunfish cube gathered this strange hexagonal algae that took over the water column I’ve been googling it for months. No one has ever mentioned a hexagon form thread algae. No pictures either. It’s a long...

During winter the plant will create these pine cone shaped tubers in the mud or substrate. During spring these emerge into stem plants resembling pogostemon or a smooth mermaid weed. As summer progresses the leaves will broaden and lose their ability to submerge. Great marginal plant, or if you...

Even in the winter here in New York, in sub freezing temperatures, aquatic plants hide in the muddy banks and submerged insulated by leaves and water. To the right of the Lobelia cardinalis. Last time I had this on my hands I put it underwater without any conversion and it died. But now it’s...

Didnt like the dark areas so I adjusted the flow and created a diagonal bog now I can see everyone and it makes me want to cry tears of joy with the beauty I achieved in this setup

The harmony of the Bettas is so beautiful, they like to swim around fast and play with the bubbler airstream

I’m a nano guy, have been for 10 years, biggest setup is a 20 and smallest is easier counted in ML. Anyone else obsessed with scale? iPhone SE for reference and light. This is my new Windowsill PicoCube

At my new LFS job. They have lots of these and I can’t find them on google. Blue and Red claws

Went crayfish hunting today and found this…it comes from a long thin stem in the substrate and floats on the surface like duckweed or frogbit. Any ideas? Hand for scale!

Onyx sand on top of the old sand didn’t wanna risk opening up a hydrogen sulfide bubble trying to remove the packed sand, I think the color compliments it way better.

The hair algae and black beard in conjunction is just impossible. I spent 45$ on a mother sword and now it’s completely covered in disgusting black algae that I can’t even remove without shredding the plant it’s so well on there. I already lost all my rotala to this algae. The hair algae chokes...

What’s going on? He was fine and looked beautiful with pointy fins when with other fish??

Love this desk tank. So vivid.

I love the backwood creeks of NY

Found it in a pond in NY, doesn’t look anything like the Repens sample I found in VA.

A tank that originated as a spillover tank for guppies and plant scraps, has turned into one of my most beautiful planted tanks!

My gut tells me it’s ludwigia. Bonus if you guys can name the grass

He seems to be loving his new home!

Hey guys so I have had in this tank 4 neocaridina mostly female I think one male, 2 female bee shrimp, and my small amano shrimp that I bred myself (named Mystery bc I was confused on how I pulled off breeding amanos without even trying hard) One of my bee shrimp is super berried rn, I didnt...

Very unsightly. Mixing with the sand and clumpy and no amount of tossing the sand will get rid of it.

At a loss rn. All my anubias just end up melting and I do everything you’re supposed to, keep the roots above the substrate and just find a place for it to sort of float or nestle it in a rock. I didn’t notice this until just now, so obviously it’s completely past the point of no return. I’m...

I love the color and leaf variety

Learned today that Lampeyes are classified as Poeciliae while Killifish are classified under Cyprinodontiformes. But are both Lampeyes and Killifish Cyprinodontiformes? And would other poeciliae like guppies, mollies, flagfish and such also be included? Would love to chat with someone on the...

Was replanting and these stems snapped off....I want to use a lead weight on them. But are they just gonna wither?

Saw some spindly slow legs knew it wasn’t a shrimp, looked at the back of the tank and there he was! 1/3

Some of my breedy boys hanging out, these ain’t store bought
