8 Gallon Aquascape. Step-by-step tutorial. #mysterysnail #neontetras #aquascape #aquarium

Hi friends! I'm starting to get into this aquascaping hobby and would love to have you follow along in my journey. Trying to make these budget friendly. 6 pygmy corys, 6 neon tetras, and some mystery snails. The neons will soon be upgraded to the 20 gallon tank and I will be adding some new true nano fish in the future.
Before adding any livestock, add a dechlorinator and beneficial bacteria (I use API brand). I will be water testing every day and completing water changes as necessary until the tank is established.
