like my betta tank!!! haha i really dont want it to be all fake looking but it'd be mean if i didnt
what themes do your tanks have?
- Thread starter allaboutfish
- Start date
Thanks.
I scored a free piece of driftwood today. I brought it home and soaked it in hot water for a while, until it quit leeching. I removed the volcano (good riddance) and got the driftwood in there. I don't know why, but my neons and glolights have started schooling in front of it. Sticking a picture in.
Of course as soon as I go to take the picture, the tetras all move over to the side of the tank!
I'll stick some type of blue or black backround behind it and it'll be complete. It has 2 angels, 4 neons, 4 glolights, 4 albino corys, 2 bubble belly mollies, 1 blue MM platy, 1 red MM platy, and 1 Sunburst MM platy.

My 20 gallon betta sorority and community is "natural" themed; rocks, driftwood, plants and lots of (- sigh -) algae.
My breeding tank is plastic lid themed! I have a bunch of them floating in there for possibly bubblenest spots.
When I do breed my bettas I really want to get a fluval or something and divide it up for the three or four I will be keeping. I want to do really tacky tank designs in each of those sections: a skull in one, pirate ship in another, and maybe a castle in another. Have different coloured neon gravel in each of the sections. It would be a tacky work of art!

All my tanks have only ever been natural. I feel like the clown-puke bright colored tanks detract from the beauty of the fish, while natural plants, rocks, and driftwood, compliment the fish.
Here's a pic of my old 20 long at it's peak before I had to tear it down.
Here's the same tank, completely redone with different fish in a riverbed theme
And my current work in progress, the 40 breeder. Eventually, I'll have more crypts taking over the center of the wood pile, with dwarf saggitaria covering the whole front. I'll fill in a couple holes with some other stem plant and a couple red tiger lotus.

My tanks are loaches/natural/asian themed except for the anubias, swords & some other plants, oh & the Great lakes rocks
I also had an idea to do a garden themed tank... heavily planted (with fake plants and real ones) in nice rows, organized to look like a flower garden. Maybe a watering can for good measure 
wow, you didn't get any replies about how schooling fish should be kept with no fewer than 6 of their kind. you sly dog!
