47-gallon Hobbiton Theme/inspired tank

[WhistlingBadger]

Stocking:
Moonlight gouramis for elves
black neons for hobbits
dwarf crayfish for orcs
a silver koi for gandalf
stone catfish for dwarves
...and a fire eel for the balrog!

This, of course, would be a completely and utterly terrible stocking. Don't really do this. Just making a mental image...

I think a bristlenose Pleco would make a decent Gandalf! Too bad that’s already mines name

Gandalf is a most excellent name for a BNP. When I had one, my daughter named it "Brissleplacky." I couldn't argue with that.

How are the fish going to open those little doors?

My sister always said "until you name that thing, I shall call it Sticky Lips because he sticks to the glass"

I don’t suggest hornwort. Instead, perhaps Anacharis. Hat stocking do you plan? I would suggest some kind of tetra like neon tetra.

Also beware of those plant seeds - they are often not aquatic plants... and though they may grow in nicely initially, they often melt and cause a horrible devastating mess for the aquarist.

I set it up!
It kinda looks more like a garden than Hobbiton, but I still like it!
Photos tomorrow (i think)

Ack!
I keep forgetting to post haha
I'll try, sorry q:
I don't have a phone so I take the photos on my mom's phone and send them to myself to my PC through email

I guess it’s time for better stocking now ( removed the pokie looking plant haha)

All fake plants, right? I bet your fish would be more comfortable with some tall plants and/or floaters. (Do I see a floater in the upper left, or is that a reflection?) Also, I only see three fish, is that correct? More fish would be happier. Other than that, though, this is a really cool, fun-looking setup. I love the flower pot hobbit holes.

all fake except for some, they’re not visible, though.
I have 8 fish, 5 silver tip tetras and 3 blood fins. They tend to hide because they nip at each other so much I’m getting more fish soon, so it will hopefully help with aggression
The floating plants are just plant that come un-rooted that I’m to lazy to fix haha
