Yes haha. The pearling, especially when I have the filter off so it’s more noticeable, is insane.

Just to show how it looked earlier on, about 1 month after setup

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

I have 3 Gold Honey Gourami gals (Sheila, Dierdre, and Kimberly), along with 6 Pygmy Corys (I want to get 6 more but my LFS is out), and a colony of red cherry shrimp.

60p is the tank name from ADA. 60 being the cm wide measurement, and p being the shape. In this case it’s a bit taller than deep.

Flora (back left to front right…) = Cardamine Lyrata, Rotala Indica, Ludwigia Diamond, Ludwigia (no clue), Hydrocotyle Tripartita, (no clue on the two types on left), Monte Carlo, various crypt & Anubias.

Fauna = some Pygmy Cory catfish and a colony of red shrimp. Not shown here is my new Gold Honey Gourami :)

And sounds good, nothing wrong with taking a break for a while

Thank you :) originally I had Caridina Pure Red Line shrimp, but unfortunately they suffered because I couldn’t keep parameters nice for them (I believe the bags of pea gravel are leeching minerals) so there are only 2 or so left. So I got some Neocaridina Red Cherry shrimp and they are thriving, there’s like 30 now. I also have 12 Pygmy Cory’s

Thank you :) glad to inspire
