I see no one has started a thread for all the people out there with community tanks, and that's something i enjoy seeing! I love community tanks and plan to one day start my own! I want to see everyone's tank who has a community tank with or without a betta!

Here's mine. I have 3 honey gouramis (Cinderella, Prince Charming, and Fairy Godmother - named by my daughter), 3 peacock gudgeons (Tyrion, Cersei, and Jaime), 6 peppered cories, 10 harlequin rasboras, 10 rummynose tetras, 11 neon tetras, a handful of nerites and ramshorns and pond snails, and a handful of red cherry shrimp.

Thank! Nope, no bettas. The gouramis are a cousin to bettas, but since they can be nicely kept in small groups, I put the gouramis in there instead. I have 6 bettas but are all in individual or divided tanks.

Mine is a 10g with a blue/red betta, a zebra nerite, 2 grey and black panda garras, a vampire shrimp, a mystery snail, an unknown number of tiny pond/bladder snails (whose numbers dwindle and swell based on filter changes), and, at the moment, 3 ghost shrimp. The ghost shrimp number changes often and 2 are in another tank laying eggs right now. This photo is before I changed the thermometer and about doubled the live plants.

My 20 long before trimming and before cleaning the glass.

Neon and Ember Tetras, Dario hysginon, Dario Dario (Scarlet Badis), Pygmy and Hasbrosus Cories, Fire Red, Amano and Vampire Shrimp, Zebra, Zorro and Batik Nerites and Dwarf Orange Crayfish. Oh, and Dexter the Betta.

My tanks are listed in my signature, but those on the phone can't see that, so...

90 gallon - African knife fish, kribensis, spotted ctenopoma, upside down cats, Congo tetras and a delhezi bichir.

125 living room - black ghost knife, palmas bichir, silver dollars, pictus cats and a chanchito cichlid. Stocking had stopped once I decided to move to NC.

125 bedroom - severums, Bolivian rams, chocolate cichlid, tiretrack eel, clown pleco, BN pleco, RL pleco, Angelicus loaches, zebra loaches, kuhli loaches, horse face loach, Denison barbs, turquoise rainbows, irian red rainbows, pearl gouramis and a betta.

I used to have a lot of community tanks - more than 10 - no two tanks had the same fish in them. Had over 50 species in my collection. I am much happier with fewer larger tanks though.

Once I move in with agent13 we will have a 225, 125, 125, 90, 72, 46 and a bunch of little tanks not worth mentioning, plus 100 gallons of quarantine tanks. Will be pushing 1000 gallons.

We met right here :) a friend of mine sent me a PM with a link to her profile soon after she joined and said "this one is for you"

I'm actually on my way To the airport right now to pick her up :)

Don't be confused, I'm either one or the other :) And she is definitely a she.

Do you mind pictures of previously kept community tanks?

This tank held a single male betta, pseudomugil mellis, pseudomugil gertrudae, pseudomugil tenellus, skull creek rainbows, celestial pearl danios, oryzias woworae, two aquarium strain gardneri killifish, and microdevario kubotai. My male did get his tail nipped from time to time, but he was always very docile and never seemed bothered by it.

Sadly I don't think I got any full tank photos of it.
