Before & After : Substrate and background

[Ade]

Thought I'd update you all on the current tiger community. I finally gone bare tank and no background, both at same time. Not sure if I 'm gonna hkeep it that way, but will not be changing for several months. ...let the tigers settle and get used to it.

letme know what you think guys and girls. cheers

I have always had sand and background, but since joining mfk aout 8 months ago, been very intrigued to do this, after seeing other peoples tanks.

may be I'll add some fake vallis , as the tigers allways look good swimming amongst long leaved plants imo.

To each their own but I think it looked ten times better before. Still looks good though.

yeah same here, it look's like better before but let the tiger settle first and get used to it will see if will they react positively with the new background and no substrate but still they are all gorgeous though!

beautiful fish! I like the substrate and background though better.

 

[FunWow!]

The way it was before looks better.

Another vote for before. I could understand that it is easier to clean and have heard that substrate can acculumate bioload, but what are the reasons you chose to go bear. The fish look great, by the way.

BEFORE!!!!! i personally hate tanks w/o backgrounds, it looks so ugly and messy. barebottom looks cool in certain setups, but no backgrounds is a no-no

For some reason I think my fish are unhappy with a bare bottom. They'll constantly swim with there mouth dragging on the bottom of the tank. I'm assuming its from them seeing there reflection.
