We have a new tank of the month, and it’s by ! Here’s what they had to say about their aquarium:

“Hello all, this is Mana Sphere Nature Design. 95% or more of what’s in this 29 gallon came from Rivershore. It’s essentially a Walstad-style tank, no water changes, dirted bottom, but I did add a hang on back filter. It has ramshorn snails, mystery snails, a few different pest snails, cherry shrimp, Amano shrimp, neon netras, glowlight danios, cherry barbs, hatchet face danios, and some weird silver and blue danio I got elsewhere that no one seems able to ID.

I strive for exclusively community setups because I think some of the truest beauty nature has to offer exists in the way it harmonizes rather than competes. I also think exploring convergence creates really beautiful contrast. The convergence of the riparian plants rooting in water, but also the emersed aquatic plants wrapping around the light fixtures, nature meeting technology. Similarly, in the future I want to find some middle ground between the Walstad Method and high tech; I wouldn’t be opposed to running c02 on this tank in the future just for fun, as I’m pretty new to this hobby. Please follow me at !!”

We’re closed today, September 1, but will be back to our normal hours on Wednesday. We hope to see you then!

It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Fish Facts! Today, we’re looking at the Roseline Shark:

1. Averaging about 5.5 inches as an adult size, the Roseline Shark (Sahyadria denisonii) is a larger, community-based fish fit for a tank of 50 gallons or more. They’re constantly active, so a larger tank is necessary to accommodate for their swimming as well as their need for a school of 6 or more. With fewer Roseline Sharks, more aggressive behaviors may show up due to worry about predators.

2. Roseline Sharks are found naturally in southern India’s flowing rivers and lakes. They love having driftwood and rock to both swim around and form a hiding spot should they feel threatened! Live plants tend to work well with them, though sometimes thinner-leaf plants like Rotala can be uprooted by Roseline’s pecking at stems for algae. Anubias, vallisneria, and sword plants are a good fit for them!

3. As omnivores, the Roseline Shark eats most foods presented to them. Meat-based pellets and veggie-based flakes are great options, and a supplemented live or frozen food will be readily accepted! Options include bloodworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp. Even blanched veggies will be snacked on by these guys!

4. Roseline Shark is just one of many common names used for this species. Other common names include Denison Barb, Redline Torpedo Barb, and Denison’s Flying Fox. Despite the word ‘shark’ appearing, this species is indeed in the Barb family, just taking a longer form with the classic barbels on the sides of their mouth!

5. Unfortunately, this species was put on the Endangered List after its popularity explosion in the aquarium trade. Collection periods and commercial breeding have been set in place to help counteract the population loss. Breeding in captivity has been successful at a small level, so maybe you could be the next person to help bring the species’ population back up?

It’s time for Tank of the Month! This month goes to Owen for this wonderful setup. Here’s what they had to say about their aquarium:

“This is my 10 gallon tank with 7 pearl danios and an extra chubby cherry barb. This stocking is pushing the limits, but there is a reason behind it. A year or two ago I rescued an assortment of fish, including a pearl danio, and the cherry barb in this tank. I felt sorry for the singular pearl danio, so a few months later I got 6 more to complete a school. The tank slowly became riddled with algae, had sand as a substrate, and I got bored of the hard scape so it was time to switch it up. This new hard scape is very fresh, and the plants are just growing in, so i’m excited to see how the tank will fill out!”
