PARADISE -New Looks-

[M|L]

After almost 2 years of having empty undecorated tanks, I decided to add some plants and rocks. I like the "paradise" look:

I don't know what the hell these plants are called, but I thought they looked cool... almost like plastic. I was first afraid my fly river turtle will snack on them, but apparently she's leaving these well alone.

Most people use a big driftwood as a center piece, but I decided to go with this nice rock. I have several others in there. Can you believe these rocks cost me $30?! They're just... rocks.

A very photogenic fish, he's the most interative fish in my tank. He's not showing his full potential (color) due to the light sand substrate which washes away his deep male coloration typically displayed in a "paradise fish".

Nice photo's.

I also can't believe what I have paid for rocks and driftwood.
Funny isn't it?

i also go back and forth between decorating and not.

Wow, nice tank! How big is it? I think the plant is not a plant wich would typically grow unter water and I am wondering about how long it will last under water. Most likely it will try to grow above the water level.

Thanks.

It's only a 40 gallon tank.

I think you're very correct about the plant, because it was actually half emerged above the water when it was planted in the petstore, but I thought it was only due to the lower water level.

Nice tank but I think that it would look better with a black backround. I just went to wal-mart and bought black posterboard and cut it to fit.

Nice tank though. what are the dimentions?

That's another thing that I change once in a while.

Sometimes I have a blackground, and sometimes I don't.

If you check out my Aquarium Gallery in my gallery page, you'll see.
