Freshwater Aquarium Photography This is the photography forum for the FW section. It's a dedicated forum to post pictures of some of the things in our tanks, pics of new additions, as well as for great information exchange, tips, tricks, and overall just discussing cameras and photography techniques of our tanks. Learn all about apertures, f-stops, ISOs, macro, flashes, white balance, and anything and everything else that drives us crazy to get a masterpiece shot. Feel free to show off your tanks in here, and plus its a great way for humble people to nonchalantly have their tanks nominated by the other members for Tank Of The Month. Don't be shy!

Default My new 5 gallon tank

It's 3 weeks old now, added fish a week ago. I hope the grass in front will grow.

Well I'm using just some fine gravel from LFS. Gravel's size 1-2mm. No CO2 yet, but I think I'll buy a CO2 kit.

I want the "grass" to cover the bottom nice and thick.

Plants are anubias (tied on stones), lilaeopsis (the grass looking one) and the tall one in the corner I don't know the name.

I've got 8 neon tetras in this tank and they seem very happy. I know it's slightly overstocked according to what I read, but tank felt kinda empty with 5 fish only. Even with 8 it doesn't look overstocked to me, there's still plenty of space.

I might add some shrimp in the future.

This is my tank 7 months later. I did a little rescape, but basically it's still the same.

I'm planning to move tetras to bigger aquarium and keep only betta here and add some snails or maybe shrimp.
