Default Nano nano


Here's my grouping of nanos. It started out innocently with a Petco nano, then 2 Petco nanos. I couldn't afford not to buy two. Then GWAPA started a competition so added a 2.5 gallon. And dug out the old 2.5 hex nano for crypts.
Here's all four. I really should find a more artistic display for this, but it's easiest to feed and fert and light all together.

Closeups of HC growing in HOB nano filter. I have a struggle to keep this alive. So until I come up with the correct environment, I'm keeping it alive on the filter.

two Petco nanos with hairgrass blyxa japonica





2.5 hex with crypts - 2 pictures of it





enjoy!

Good golly! Talk about "Nano Nano!" I think you have every type of nano ever made in that room. Each of them look great and carry a different character of planted aquariums. My favorites include the Hex crypt tank, and the top area with the lily pad plant and the frog.

Cool fish room!

Good question! My water has N & P so I give a few drops of flourish every few days and a few drops of excel about every other day. Change water weekly seems to help alot.

Jimbo, my co-worker has a betta in a bowl, into which she put some moss that I gave her, so she'll enjoy the picture of your Betta bowl.
