Retro kids tank?

[Tunabish]

So I’m thinking about doing a period piece with like a 10 gallon tank. My thinking is what would a kid have as far as decor in the 60’s early 70’s and then run with that. I’m not thinking everything must fit the time period but the decor mainly.

so I purchased this NOS penn plex 1972 diver to start it off but now I don’t want to open it ?still factory sealed

but yeah, regardless of what we think about decor, I still think a retro decor nano fish tank would be dope!!! ???

thoughts??? Anyone collect “antique” aquarium decor etc?

These ones I don’t own but had as a kid

Awesome tank idea. I’ve been waiting to see someone with a pollution themed tank with fake plastic bottles on the bottom and garbage themed background

Bright green Glofish would be good in there ?

Didn’t think about that yea that would be good. I’ve always thought a pollution themed fish tank would be so cool but no ones done it yet somehow

Just go down to your local beach and see a full blown polluted marine set up, lol.

Great idea for tank scaping. Love that old nostalgia feel.

the house with the wheel was my first decoration. it was given to me with a small cracked tank since i dont have money at the time tried fixing it by melting candles to to cover the crack on the glass but it didnt worked. air will flow on the stream and release on the wheel and it will turn. i was so amazed at that. wish i can see one again here.
