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.

The other has tetras and some random plants

Main tank is a mixed black water biotope - mostly SA, angels, sterbai Cories, otos, zebra plecos, rummynose and cardinals. I needed a home for a school of Congo tetras so they’re over there now too. I have an overgrown livebearer tank that’s mostly wild-type swords plus some otos and albino corydoras. Mixed community tank rounds out the permanent ones; Cories and otos again, a pissed off zebra plec that can’t be trusted with its own kind, giant danios, serpae and lemon tetras, and a mix of “survivors” who are the last few of their kind in my tanks. I keep a tidepool tank in the summer with native North Atlantic critters.

All my tanks except one contain what most think of as the plague, bladder & ramshorn snails.

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.
