5 Gallon Cemetery Tank

[GT3]

Hey guys, I am thinking to do a underwater cemetery in a 5G tank probably with some plant, other than just plain old fine sand and burying the 'coffin'. Anyone have any ideas of any sort!!:sim:

black phantom tetras

Might be a bit much for a 5g though, use a 10g maybe?

Omg - I was just thinking of doing this the other day with my 14g
Sort of like... An overgrown graveyard look. With little coffins, grassy sort of plants and overgrown mossy kind of plants? Cool idea.. In a forest-y type tank?

Noooo, no fish at all. Shrimp are okay, cause' they stay tiny and need very little space. Nonetheless, aren't tetra schooling fishes? LOL

I was thinking making a nice sheet of grass at the bottom and make a nice sheet of grass wall.

I got a 20G and 10G at home already, got nowhere to put another 10G. Yea I was thinking grassy bottom and walls.

Anyone know what are the carpet like grass called? dwarf grass?

Sounds like you're thinking of dwarf hair grass... you could also go with dwarf sag. Or do a moss carpet and a wall with it. I think that would look awesome with the set up you're talking about.

For headstones you can make your own out of granite clay. Looks just like rock and holds up well under water. click here
