This is one of my planted aquariums. Slightly over grown, but it still looks nice. I do everything planted so it's sort of its own self cleaning ecosystem. I haven't done any cleaning on this since day 1 but, yet it still has around 15 fish in it, and several aquatic snails.

FOUR MONTES LATER....

Java moss, dwarf hair grass, Rotala indica and anubias.

Here's another build I have yet to complete. Got to finish some planting and a few other things. But then I'll stock it with some good fish. I have a few mollies in there because I had no other place to go with them.
Sorry for the bad pictures.

Ants can't swim.

Wow that is an impressive...

Proverbs 6:6-8 New International Version (NIV)

6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;
    consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer
    and gathers its food at harvest.
