We have some tanks with those Mayan Altars, fake Easter Island heads and Pyramids. Do those count as modern?

Welcome back!
From the responses in the Earlier Poll, it is clear most fish dont watch enough television. So how are your fishes brains excercised everyday?
Does the enviornment the fish live in have an affect on their psychology and IQ?
Could the the sensory deprivation and boredom of living in a bare tank with nothing to look at other than a brick wall degenerate their mental ability?
What is the trade off in having perfectly healthy fish living in a sterile enviornment, such as a bare bottom tank, against an interesting and natural aquascape?
Are we as fishkepers and breeders producing the underwater equivalent of battery hens...
Answers on a postcard to the usual address.
Heres a link to a brief article on fish senses, how many are exercised by your fish everyday?

My tanks are stocked with natural colored gravel and natural colored fake plants and wood. My goldfish eat anything real in the tank, so I can't really keep live plants.

Bit difficult to choose between the two, as both my tanks are between the two. In the 96l, I have real plants, wood, stone etc, but also a castle (the pleco's own now) and a cannon (the loaches like hiding in it) and a fake....

In the 16l, I have a real plant, a fake plant and a white roman collanade (sp?)

chose the non-modern option tho' as it sounds better.....

Both my tanks have a tall plant, a short shrubby plant and a sword-leaved type plant. All the plants are silk. The tall plants are the favorite for my bettas. One of them likes to hang out under the leaf of the sword plant lol. Both tanks have a rock/cave with a few extra holes for them to explore (which one of the bettas seems to enjoy doing) One tank has a brown/natural colored gravel. The other one as a whiteish/gray gravel that I bought and now I wish I had never bought it lol. The brown gravel looks so much nicer!
