My aquarium

2 comments :
 
I've had an aquarium for about five years now. I got really into fishkeeping then and got a 112L (~40 gallon) tank back then. There's been times when I've not been so interested in it, but I've always kept up with the maintenance and made sure my fish were healthy. Here's some pictures of my tank.


Current inhabitants are 4 albino corydoras, 3 peppered corydoras, 5 cardinal tetras and 8 flame tetras. Below is an older picture, after it I've lost 2 cardinals to a mystery disease.


And here are the newest addition, my beloved flame tetras. They are super greedy and mean and I am head over heels in love with them!




Do you guys have aquaria or have you planned on getting one? I want to hear!

  1. I've been thinking about keeping fish but not quite sure where to start. I've read a lot on it and don't know if a fish bowl vs small tank will be the best place to start. Any suggestions?

    1. Fishkeeping is a great hobby, and it goes so well with houseplants because aquarium water is full of nutrients that plants love! If possible, I would suggest starting with a bit bigger tank (30-40 gallons, ~100 litres) because the stability is so much harder to maintain on a small tank. Also, you will get greedy for more fish and bigger tank = more fish! If you want a smaller one, the smallest you can go is about 5 gallons and it can house one betta fish.

      If you want to know more, I'm happy to answer!
