Wifes Monster Tank

[RonBurgundy]

My wife is in to the hobby full swing. The deal was that could get a new tank as long as she got hers. I'm finding that I have to spend more time on "her tank". She won't let me put a background on the tank and I had to lay the law down because of her stock list... or should I say, overstock list. Enjoy.

1x Opaline gourami

Hi Ron.. She did a great job. But tell her for me that she's gotta put up a background.. It will hide the wires and the filter etc.. The easiest thing would be black but she can try different colors with posterboard or something til she finds one she likes.. It will really help to make the fish and everything else pop.. tell her that's Bailey the doberman's thoughts as well Seems I have to do a lot of the work with my "husband's tank" as well.. hummmmm. But lately I have him learning to do water changes and stuff so there is progress . Sue

Hi Sue! I agree with you not having a background on there is not gaining the full potential of the fish. I'm just going to put one on there while she out running errands this weekend....and hopefully she will like it.
