I had 4 10 gallon tanks about 9 years ago, mostly because my ex had a habit of buying bettas whenever we were at the store for cat or dog food. Then we split up and I lived in a house with rickety, unlevel floors. I experimented a little with planting the tanks, but I don't think I ever had a decent substrate in any of them, so I'm fairly excited to start a new heavily planted 20gallon tank (of the Father Fish method) on my desk. My soil supplements and plant cuttings arrived tomorrow and I just finished bracing my desk against catastrophic collapse. LFG

The tank sits on the end of my desk against the wall. I did the planting in situ and my back hurts.

I got some chili rasboras a little while ago from the LFS's neocardinia tank. Since they were in a shrimp tank they weren't treated for ich and they brought it in. I tried cranking up the heat to treat but my heaters weren't up to it. So I got a 10 gallon, trimmed up my main tank's overgrowth and evacuated the snails for an ich-x treatment. Anyway, here's my new quarantine tank. Hopefully I did the replanting correctly

I set the tank up because I needed somewhere to put the snails (a Nerite and as many MTS as I could find) for a few weeks while I run ich-x in the main tank. Once that's done, I'll use it to quarantine new additions

I've been wanting to get into celestial pearl danios since I learned about them, but the LFS here sells them for $12 each. So when I saw a bag of 8 at the local association auction today, I had to shoot my shot, and I came home with the lot of them for $36. I've since learned that PetSmart sells them for even less than that, but I sure feel better getting them from another hobbyist.
