New cave too gaudy?

[Genral72]

I think it looks really cool

I think it looks fine, too. I might consider adding a black background, however, to help set off the colors. Looks like you may have this as a 360 degree viewable setup, though, so the background may not be possible?

I like it. But I would move it more kinda katti-corner (I have no idea how to spell that, lol) where it will still cover the intake but not be the centerpiece.

I'm not much on artificial rocks, etc..but that does look cool..

I think it looks good - and (IMO) might even look better once it "ages" a little because of an algae patina - making the grey/white part blend in with the greener part a bit better. Either way i think it looks great ... only thing i'd try is a black background...

I think it looks really good Beatle....the only thing I would do is to add another plant or two behind the cave...that's tall enough to be seen in back there. Also a short smaller one just in front and to the left of the cave. Walmart sells this little green silk bushy looking plant that would look nice there.

The gravel matches the cave very nicely and the bright green colored plants add to the whole look.

Nice job !!

I picked up a new cave for my 3 gallon tank for my betta and ghost shrimp to explore. I think it goes well with the colors of the tank (at least to my colorblind eyes) but I'm not sure if it's just too big for my little tank. There was a smaller version of this ornament but it only had one cave. The nice thing about this one is that it mostly obscures the filter intake. What do you think?

Hey, what is that little fish sitting on the gravel?

Looks really nice. I had something similar when I was a kid... Brings back memories.

Wow, I didn't expect so many responses. I think I'm going to keep it. My betta has been "pacing" a lot since I got it. He'll jet from left to right in the front of the tank over and over and over. He seems in good health otherwise.

I do want to get a black background, but I'm waiting to get my 30 gallon set up so I can buy one big sheet of Oceanvisions. I put the cave as far back in the tank as I could and I angled it a bit so the front would be as open as possible. I'll look for a tiny plant at Walmart. I didn't think they had any silk plants (I don't have a super Walmart near me).

My girlfriend tells me the gravel has purple pebbles in it. :huh: They're not blue like I thought.
