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.

What fish do you keep? (lemmy.ca)

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.

20 gallon: tetras, corys, upside down catfish, siamese algae eater (eventually going to other tank), yoyo loach (also bound for other tank if it outgrows the 20), plecos, just had a mystery snail clutch hatch successfully, shrimp

75 gallon: dojo loaches, angelfish, plecos, a panda cory, pictus catfish, synodontis that thinks he's an upside down catfish, peacock eel, mystery/narite/rabbit snails...loaches ate all the shrimp in Phishadelphia (where it's always sunny).
