2 20g's and a 75g

[benzjamin13]

I got bored, so I took some pictures of my 20g Planted Community Tank, my 20g African Tank, and my 75g Monster Tank. There's a 240g on the way, so don't worry about these Monsters being cramp later

Nice setups...I like the otocinclus and red eyed tetras. I have a bunch as cleanup fish in my sum.

Do you mind sharing what live plants you're using?

To be honest...it's my first live plant tank. I'm not sure exactly what they are. I bought thems as Bacopa (front one), Dawrf Anbius (largest one), White Ribbon Bamboo (in front of the rock), Tropical Fern (in the drift wood) , and the 2 tall ones (in the back) I've had outdoors for years. I don't even know what they are

Nice tanks BTW. I simply love the black sand with your aro.

Just some advice from a planted tank enthusiast. Make sure the roots of the anubias (actually looks like anubias barteri, rather than dwarf, which I've not heard of) are not burried. They actually wrap around objects, such as driftwood or large rocks. If they are burried, they will eventually rot away. Same goes for the 'tropical fern' which looks to be java fern, actually. Just hold them in place with a small rock, or place in a crack in the wood.

I'm not familiar with the 'white ribbon' plant, but I would venture to guess it's not true aquatic, rather an emersed terrestrial plant. If, in a couple weeks or so, it looks to be falling apart, take it out of the water, and you can try planting it in a regular pot.

Just FYI

I've heard of Anubias nana petite

Yeh, I've seen the nana. His certainly isn't nana though, way too tall.

I'm not sure where you got that anubias need to be rooted on wood and rocks. While they can be, they are not limited to that. The rhizome needs to be exposed in the water, however the roots can go down into the substrate. I have been keeping anubia for nearly 10 years in substrate as well as on wood. The anubia in the substrate actually have grown much faster for me than those rooted to wood.
