This is my 20gal community tank, it's been up and running for just over 2 years. About six months ago it moved across town with me which scared the shit out of me but there were no casualties. It has 7 various species of corydoras, 17 rummynose tetras, approx. 7 black kuhli loaches, and one massive mystery snail. I've had some people say that it sounds overstocked, but I have two filters running and a lot of plants and everybody is happy and healthy. I'm incredibly found of this tank, it's the only one I have running at the moment and I love to just sit on the floor and watch it for hours. It was my first community tank and my first attempt at a legit planted tank.

I just ordered some excel to kill off the black beard algae and I'm planning to order some red plants to make the rummys really pop!

This tank looks great. Soon I will have the space to go bigger than the nano tank I learned with. This is inspiration.

Curious, do you keep the water level low for a reason?

I do! My mystery snail has been laying some eggs and they lay above water, so I'm leaving her some room. She actually laid two clutches after I took this picture, so I'm gonna set up a 10 gallon to raise some baby snails lol

It's absolutely huge. For a few months after I moved out, I was in my new place and my tank was still at my mom's house so I wasn't able to do much maintenance on it and the plants just went crazy growing.
