Do you add decorations for the soul purpose of eye pleasure?? Or, do you add decorations because you know one of your inhabitants will use it in some why or another??
I have to say for me it's both, because the only way I'll use something in my tanks is if I know it will have a purpose, but I also have to like the way it looks..
These are a few examples of stuff I have:
1. I thought about not keeping the little fallen tower, but my Yellow finned eel really likes it, so I decided to keep it.
Of course plants provide many benefits far any tank, but with this one, I notice the fish like to swim through them.. almost like making a little struggle.. on purpose.. I guess it's kinda like fish toys...
2. This is a natural rock, and when put in this position makes a cave like setting.. everyone likes this one but its the rope fish who dominates it. He will be coming out soon, and going into another tank.. but with his rock of course.
3. The manzanita, provides protection for everyone.. especially underneath the knot and the lower branches.. even the artificial plants in there provide many hiding spots for the already eaten ghost shrimp
.. including many of the fish...
Another one, not pictured is for my Blood Parots.. I made a little bridge like thing.. made from a few flat rock... I noticed one day that they enjoyed swimming through it.. so now I set it up for them everytime I rearrange the tank...
Feel free to add your own pictures...

PVC is as ugly as it gets.
