Default Kinda planted 30 gallon--be kind ;)



I am having lots of trouble getting good pictures. And I guess the uprooted plants and cords behind it ain't so great. Also I have two filters on it at the moment because I'm culturing a new biowheel.

Ok then

You can't see many, but in it lives:

1 zebra loach, 1 chinese butterfly loach, 2 guppies
2 ghost shrimp, 1 opaline gourami, 1 platy and 2 black khuli loaches

The plants are a mix of fake and real. The real ones are java fern, anacharis, ciliata, pennywort, banana plant and the big plant may be more ciliata--I don't know.

tall plant looks like a Spathiphyllum, or Peace Lily.

Black or dark background would hide those cords and show off your plants and fish better.

Good start there.

Thanks! Hmm I may have to try a background. I looked up peace lilies and they don't really like being totally underwater do they? I hope it's not one then!

I like it, i bet the picture doesn't do it justice. I would go with a background though.

I agree also you should get a background to hide cords and to improve the overall look of your tank. You can go with decorated or plain color backgrounds, i prefer black just because the fish and plants stick out better. Also you may want to get some tall, fake or real, plants to hide the filter intake tubes if youd like.

Also when taking pictures turn off your flash and have the light on so we can get a good feel for how your tank really looks.
