This is the first tank that got me back into fishkeeping as an adult. It has been running for two and a half years with various plants coming and going. There must be like 8 swords in here that I’ve grown from one mother plant. The thing has produced at least 20 decently sized swords that you’d see at the store.

I really like this tank and I look at it all day since it’s next to my wfh desk. Super fun to trim and play with the plants. I like to propagate and juice plants in here to move to my other tanks. Right now I am farming pearlweed.

• Fluval M200 heater

Stocking

• 12 cherry barbs
