I like it even though it's fake.. Only thing with fake plants is that you have to replace when it get old. All that algae grow on it and some fake plants shred.

Bro is that a Jebo tank of Boyu?

yeah its a Jebo with a FX5. works quite well

relli nice plants and setup
how much did u pay for ur driftwood

I honestly dont remember they are a bunch of small pieces.. probably about $70 total.

Thanks guys... any suggestions on some colorful fish that grow slow?
 
some fake plants look really good. like yours for instance. i have fake plants in my tank, mainly because its brackish. and as far as im aware there arent many plants that like brackish water, and i dont really have access to the ones that do.

i also intend on keeping scats, and they are basically the silver dollars of brackish water. so vegitation is basically a no go for me.

nice tank by the way.

rock on:headbang2

What size Jebo tank? Is that a custom stand because Jebo stands are way too small to fit a FX5 in there.

I don't think its custom..

just a standard 125, but i had to saw off some of the tank trim in order to get the clips from the fx5 to clip on right and hold the hose in place.

its too bad jebo doesnt make their tanks any wider.. they only get longer the bigger they get.
 
The ones you can get from Walmart in the decorations isle are awesome. They are huge and floating as well. Kudos though!!

Some things are just better if they are fake. . . ;)
 
Nay, either grow real plants or go with wood and rocks, wood and rocks can be just as cool as plants, even more realistic in some habitats.

Looks good! I personally don't care if it's real or fake. As long as you think it looks good.
Agreed. :D

I like artificial plants because it makes aquascaping possible with herbivore fish.
