new 7g tank

[GarNiac]

hi all, this is my new 7g tank, pls let me know what you think, and what more can be added? do I need more plants, stones, woods, or more fishes? aquascaping is a torture for me, but I dunno if this one is counted as aquascaping. Pls help...



cheers

The only thing I recomend putting in a 7 gallon is a betta. You could add some plants, that would look nice.

betta or maybe some flame tetras (the little 1" ones). i see youve got an oto, black neon, and i dunno what else... otos like groups as to black neons... i would get rid of them. If i see a shrimp, which i think i do, thats ok.

also- those rocks are nice and flat, great for anubias plants. anubias nana would look great in your tank with enough of it on the rocks.

thanks, you right, there is 1 oto fish and I've just bought another one, and a few cherry shrimps are already in the tank. The black neon is only for testing,and I've just bought some more plants, will test it to see how it looks. Already got anubias nana, but still confuse where to put it..
thanks for the input

i would put it vertically, growing straight up on the side of the tall rock, then as it grows, take cuttings from it and line the bottom of the rock with them.
Actually, you may be ok with the otos once the tank is established and the anubias settles in (provides medium for algae growth)

nice idea, I'll try that, right now, i'm thinking changing the light which suits best for plants.

righto.
just dont cut all the leaves off or anything because it takes a long-arse time for them to grow back.
