What is Tankosity?
Welcome to Tankosity — a big passion for small worlds.
Something is fascinating about creating an entire little world inside a tank, aquarium, terrarium, enclosure, or habitat.
It might be an aquarium full of colorful fish.
A planted terrarium.
A carefully designed home for a gecko, snake, tarantula, hamster, gerbil, or other small animal.
Sometimes the plants are the stars.
Sometimes it’s the animals.
And sometimes the fun is simply building and improving the habitat itself.
That’s what Tankosity is about.
What You’ll Find Here
Tankosity is a practical resource for people who enjoy keeping, building, and learning about small contained worlds.
We’ll explore topics such as:
- Aquariums and fishkeeping
- Terrariums and planted habitats
- Reptiles and amphibians
- Hamsters, mice, gerbils, and other small animals
- Spiders, tarantulas, and other invertebrates
- Plants suitable for enclosed environments
- Tanks, enclosures, equipment, supplies, and accessories
- Habitat ideas, maintenance, troubleshooting, and practical how-to information
Some articles will answer simple questions.
Others will dig much deeper into a particular animal, plant, habitat, piece of equipment, or problem.
Why Tankosity?
Because small worlds can become surprisingly big hobbies.
Once you start exploring, one question leads to another.
What size enclosure do I need?
What belongs inside it?
Which plants work?
What equipment is actually necessary?
How much maintenance does it require?
What can live together?
What should never live together?
And is that gadget really useful, or is it just another thing somebody wants to sell you?
Those are exactly the kinds of questions Tankosity will investigate.
We want the answers to be useful, understandable, and easy to find.
Where We Are Headed
This is the beginning of what we hope will become a large resource devoted to some very small worlds.
Aquariums
Reptile enclosures
Planted habitats
Small-animal homes
Tarantula enclosures
Tiny ecosystems
They may fit on a table, shelf, or stand, but they hold an enormous amount to discover inside.
That’s what we’re going to explore here.
Tankosity will cover the animals, plants, equipment, habitats, questions, problems, and ideas that come with creating and caring for these small worlds.
We’ll look at beginner questions as well as some of the wonderfully specific questions you discover only after falling down the rabbit hole of a new hobby.
We’ll also take a practical look at tanks, enclosures, equipment, accessories, and supplies. Plenty of things are worth buying — and plenty you probably don’t need.
We’ll add new guides, articles, ideas, and resources as Tankosity grows.
Our goal is to build a genuinely useful resource, one good piece of content at a time.
If aquariums, terrariums, tiny habitats, unusual creatures, interesting plants, or miniature ecosystems fascinate you, you’re in the right place.
New articles and resources will appear as we begin exploring the many different worlds under the Tankosity roof.
So have a look around, check things out, bookmark the site, and come back soon.
We’ve got a lot of small worlds to explore.
