My 5 Gal Nano

This is my five gallon planted nanotank in my bedroom. It has my three best platies in it, Stryker, Dreamwalkyr and Check Twyce (evidently, they're all part of my Because Y project.) My bigger 'tanks' holding the rest of my fish are all outdoors and they are actually sturdy plastic containers with filtration and aeration It works though.

This was my first tank, and it's intended as a newbie starter kit. I tried to hide that ugly great filter with ambulia - it looks better from the other angle, but anyway. Tank planting uses vallis (that's what it was sold as, I don't know that it actually is) cute thing out of farm dam (behind rocks in foreground) ambulia and anubias barteri. The wood was collected from my property, it stains a little but not much. The rocks are from the creek, they're basalt as far as I know.
Stocking - as I mentioned, three platies. I don't want them outside. I luv them too much.
Filtration/aeration: external box filter (inside lid). Water falls some distance into tank creating bubbles.

What do you all think??

Very nice set up. I also have a 5 gallon but the only thing in it is fry. lol No decor at all. Yours looks great!

I like it! Look's real natural!!!!!!!!!

Nice tank looking gr8.

It looks nice but have you enough light for plants in that size tank? You would need at least a 36w light as it is under 10g

Happy platies! I love that colouration, it's quite unusual.

is that tank one of the panoramic vitapet ones you can buy from places like k-mart, big W etc.? nice setup you have going btw

nice i have one of these as a fry tank my filter is very noisy ive cleaned it greased it done every thing
