My Tanks

I started with a 5gal Fluval Chi tank with a Half Moon Betta. 2 Anubias congensis as well. Added 2 Ottos a few months after it was setup and all is great!
Starting a 55 Gal long tank, setup for planted. Cycling the tank right now (Fish Cycling). 10 Zebra Dinos to start.
Update: Added 10 more Danios, but now my plants are looking like they're being stipped alive of any plant life.
Update: Added 10 more Zebra Danios and removed the dying plants and added my Amazon Swords. They seem to be doing better! Also Have 5 Giant Golden Danios in.
Update: Added some ghost shrimp. I'm done adding fish.

Update September 10th. Bought a 75 gallon tank and dirted it to replace the 55. Currently I have Dustins Beginner's Planted Combo 2https://www.aquaticjungles.com/aquarium-plants/aquarium-plant-p ackages-ds-killer-planted-combos/bpc-beginner-planted-combo-2 along with 3 large Amazon Swords. Nothing is growing great, DIY lights seem to be my downfall. Fish are 2 veiled angelfish, 2 male rainbow Boesemani, 2 female. 6 Zebra Danios, 1 giant golden danio, 1 spotted pleco, 5 Ottos, 3 clown loaches, 1 sunburst platty.
