Ok I have this other tank, I do not like it. I can not seem to think of any ideas for it. I hate the air bubbler thing in there, but I kinda like the clay bowl things. I can not even decide on a background for it. Any ideas and suggestion welcome! It is only a ten gallon, I do not have the light on it right now because I do not know what I am doing with it yet. The cloudiness just went away a few days ago. Thank you guys for any ideas!!! ][Only Registered Users Can See Links.] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links.)

More plants will make it look a lot better and pleasing to the eyes.

Maybe you could get some fish and train them to do tricks?

I would change substrate to either sand, or a natural coloured gravel...add plants...add Cardinal Tetras, and small Corys........or one Betta and Corys.......

LMAO Ummm I do not know if a sports theme is the way to go. That was funny! I thought about some real plants, and a Betta too. Cories are a great idea, they are so cute. The sub is where I am torn, I wanted a bright tank, really colorful, but on the other hand it just looks wrong. :( Maybe will have to flip a coin. LOL Thanks for the ideas.

Ok my idea may be a little odd.

Since you like the pots, maybe you could go with "archaeological dig" theme. Maybe put some oldish looking objects in there (ones safe for the fish) and bury a little of them under some substrate so it look like they starting to dig them out.


If you want to try a betta with cory just make sure you have a back up plan for one of the species. My betta bullied my corys at food time and they had to be seperated.

It's a small tank so i'm going to come out of the gate with 3 words: Black Tahition Moon!

That tank would look HOT just by changing the substrate. I think the bubble thing is cool. What i'd do is the sand, turn down the bubbles, and bury a terracotta pot or two on their side in the sand. Then you could get inverts, or use it as a betta tank for a couple females. Also, you could put java moss on the sides of the pots and in time it would cover the pot. Also you could lean the plates against the pot to make a series of caves and the moss would cover them too.
