I haven't actually posted here in 2 years, mostly been a lurker. I am more active over on AC though.
Not many fish i keep count towards monster fish, I guess, except maybe my goldfish and common pleco?
Anywho, would like to share my setups all the same, maybe update this thread from time to time too.
I have 8 tanks, smallest being a 4 gallon biotope for a single scarlet badis and largest being a 135 gallon for a trio of goldfish, some small hoplo cats, a common pleco, and a garra cambodgiensis.
This is my scarlet badis tank, a small bookshelf 4 gallon. Setup with plants found in West Bengal and India where scarlet badis are found. Watched several videos to get an idea of how their environment looks in nature, they come from clear shallow areas with patches of plants, algae, silt, and some hardscape.
5 gallon betta tank. This photo is a little older, going through that dreaded diatom/brown algae phase since it's been redone. So not sharing that mess right now.
10 gallon nano tank. Home to boraras urophthalmoides, pygmaeus corydoras, and neocaridina shrimp.
20 gallon long Asian community. Home to various pangio loach species, cherry barbs, and harlequin rasboras.
55g riparium, it's a South american community, all fish and plants from South America. It's approx 35-40g volume full though. Home to corydoras eques, lemon tetras, ember tetras, and Bolivian rams.
55g rainbowfish and cory tank... home to splendida rainbows, praecox rainbows, geayi madagascars, various corydoras sp, Ancistrus cf Cirrhosis plecos, 1 garra cambodgiensis, and 1 limia vittata. Plants are a bit beat up right now as they were recently moved around so are melting in protest.
55g anubias tank. Home to skirt tetras, black neon tetras, emperor tetras, a couple oddball elderly tetras from a coworker, various corydoras sp, farlowella twig cats, an L240 pleco growing out, and a pair of Ancistrus bodenhameri plecos. Hard to tell because dark, but the driftwood is a series of caves underneath.
This one is the 135g. Home to 3 goldfish, a rehome common pleco (P. Pardalis) from my coworker, some hoplosternum punctatum cats, and a single garra cambodgiensis. There were 2 but had to move one to one of the 55s because the larger one was bullying the other pretty bad.
