Not sure where you are going with this. Any particular kind of look you going for? What fish are going in it might help. I would probably plop in something that would add a bit of height.

I think one fish tank attracts other fish tanks. When you see a lonely 30gal with filter, heater, decor, lights, nets, food, etc. being put on the curb for nothing what can a fish person do but adopt it? :grinyes:

How about rummynoses?

I always have better luck with water sprite as a floating plant, Maybe it needs more co2?

Looking real good! I think the small plants in front of the driftwood help to visually push it back & down which is good as it adds depth (front to back). When placing rocks, I have found it's good to tuck their feet into the substrate a bit so they look like they have been there all along...

Very nice! I like a wild planted tank also. Have you any fish in there?

Nice variety of fish! I really like the Pearsi.

My Bolivians tend to stay towards the bottom 2/3 of the tank unless they have some reason to come to the top(chasing or feeding). They are definitely NOT shy eaters, but I don't have them in with anything bigger than them. They come to the top for food, over which they frequently squabble -...

How cool is that! I think the possibilities in this are fascinating.

Congratulations!

I have some at about 75*. I'm sure their surroundings influence their colors. On black sand, with no direct overhead lighting they appear colorful but much darker. It seems to depend on mood too.

I see quite a bit of bare substrate that could still be planted, so I would call that "moderately planted".

Like any new endeavor, most people starting out in fishkeeping don't know what is involved. I would love to see classes in "Basic fishkeeping for beginners" or some such like petco/smart offer dog training classes. Then the ones who get hooked can come here.

I will be interested to see what you come up with. I'm considering doing a river/bank set-up in a 40 long tank. So many choices it's sometimes hard to narrow it down. Next you know you suddenly have a fishroom full of tanks. :)

Welcome!

You could try putting some kind of barriers in the substrate between them.

Congratulations! Star grass probably is not the easiest plant to start with but good luck! What kind of light do you have on the tank? You might want to consider some of the easier plants, generally considered "low-light" like java ferns, anubias, or mosses, until you begin to get the feel of...

Merry Fish-Mass to you!:D

Cool tank. 6gal seems a little small though. You may think "They are live plants." - she may think "Wow,salad!" Crayfish are really interesting, I would totally be distracted from my work.

Very nice! I see it's zucchini season by you too. Do you blanch it or just put it in there?
