I started out with the colorful gravel and sunken treasure ornaments. I personally love the way my tanks look now, I make it is as close to nature as I can. I feel like I changed my taste as I matured, which makes sense to me. As a kid a betta tank with blue or green gravel and a treasure chest is the best thing ever. Now a densely planted tank with a nice driftwood centerpiece, natural gravel with some river rocks, and a few schools of fish is where its at.
