Mine looks like nothing compared to your guy's aquariums, but here it goes:)

I like waterlilies(nymphaea sp.) the most,they usually have a red-pink color depending on species...

Mature Bananna lilies lose their bananna shaped roots when mature, it grew three lily pads but the current was to strong, causing them to melt:(

29 gallon tank with a yellow form of Aphyosemion gardneri. Small airstone, no filter. Regular tank lid with one fluorescent bulb. Plants put in clay pots filled with soil from the backyard garden topped with a thin layer of gravel. All plants growing like crazy (Echinordorus, cryptocoryne, Anubias). Salvinia on top needs to be thinned very regularly. Some driftwood and java moss on the bottom. Fish are breeding and a few youngsters surviving in there.

20 gallon with a male doubletail betta named Papa Smurf



Papa Smurf being coy (my grandkids named him because of the white on the edges of his fins)


29 gallon community - cardinal tetras, tuxedo guppies and harlequin rasboras

Thank you. They really took off when I started adding a Thrive All in One 3x weekly. I have to fix a leak in my CO2. Using excel for now.
50% PWC weekly.

That's quite a bit of white clouds for one tank... I think that your tank should be at least a 20 gallon for all of those fish.
