I figure this is a good way to get the conversation going.

We currently have one community tank with a dwarf gourami, corydoras, neon tetras, a small colony of cherry shrimp, an assassin snail, and a plague of ramshorn snails that hitched a ride on some water lettuce we bought a few years ago.

I have a 75 g with corydoras, panda loaches, an old Bolivian ram, tetras, mostly rummy nose, shrimps. Also accidental ramshorn, in a very nice orange color that looks great on the plants

Excited to see so many other nano community tanks. I've got a 75G with neons, pristella tetras, cories, kilis, shrimp and snails. Upgraded from a 29G, now considering doing something more exotic with that tank.

I have multiple tank syndrom so I won't go all out and just list of my most stable, somehow, tanks.

  • 20 gallon long.

  • 4 or 5 Upside-down catfish (Synodontis nigriventris, so freaking cool. Theit swim upside down)

  • 5 to 6 Kuhli loaches, a few black and th other normal.

  • 3 or 4 Yo-yo loaches.

  • A whole herd of K Class Black Bar Endless.

  • A swarm of Amano Shrimp.

  • The most resilient Ramshorn snail colony I ever met.

Possibly 1 assassin snail. (Started with 4 before any loaches were in there. Thought they all died and found one randomly, can't find it again.

If anyone is going to say it's over crowded I know. Very much so. There's lots of hiding spots, a few plants, and the water is stable. Somehow one of the most consistently stable tanks I have. All of my tanks are now doing great since I've been in the hobby a while now and have more experience. This tank was a "temporary tank while they adjust to the water and I'll move them all to different tanks. Never had a death in there I know of since the assassin snails but to be fair I never found more than one empty assassin snail shell.

I have 2 community tanks. One has guppies and some random plants.

The other has tetras and some random plants

One has a rabbit snail infestation but I like they way they look som I’m keeping them all

I’ve been trying to introduce guppies in my tank, but all my attempts failed. What is the secret? I have a 20G and just 3 glofish tetras, a little bit of duckweed, and that’s all.

The fediverse needs a place for aquarists! Saltwater, freshwater, breeders, fishless aquascapes, ponds, puddles, and bathtubs. If it's full of water and you're proud of it, we'd love to see it.
