Pic Of Simple Tank ;p

[nurglespuss]

Hi all,

Its not to everyones tastes (and still needs more work!)

I've got to find a way to hide the wires (most of them are too short to reach the floor) so that I can put pot plants either end of the stand

I'm pleased that the new external filter is less obtrusive than the 2 Eheim HOB's I had at either end (from previous tank), and think the power head is great

Anyway, I'm still trying to source som 'small' and 'very small' skulls and bones (heck might as well go full tilt! - plus the big hollow skulls are very plec-popular!)

Contents are currently - 4 whitecloud mountain minnows (very kindly posing in the random phone pic ;p ), 3 bristlenoses, 1 pit bull and one bulldog.

I will be transplanting some javafern from another tank (although, I've never tried growin it in a high flow environment?)

And I'm hoping to add:

more pitbull plecs (or hillstream loaches, or black otto's when the tanks longer established, or mor epitbulls if I can find healthy ones) more white clouds and possibly some kind of centre-piece fish (though what I don't know! ;p)...

I'm still debating whether to add a background! and after christmas should have a decent light too

Please let me know what you think so far, and any thoughts?

ive got visions of having a whole skeleton crammed into a tank like the poor guy was stuffed in there to drown, and now the fish live round him.

That would be pretty awesome ;p

I've been trying to find some 'mini' skulls here in the UK, but we seem to only have the big ones! (thought these are 3 for 2 in pets at home ;p )

On ebay there are loads of little 'stone', jade, topaz etc skulls would be gread as little pebbles, but I have no way of seeing if they are aquarium safe...

I love the skulls! Very cool tank!

Thanks mate!

Not a fan myself but i prefer natural looking tanks

I'm considering replacing the skulls with slate caves, only problem is, the skulls are a great shape and the plecs love 'e, for dashing in and out of..

Id keep the skulls, get a black background on there, some floating plants to darken it down. Might look good if the skulls were uneaven too, like maybe 3 piled up and one on its own with lots of plants... just an idea

Cheers great ideas

I want lots of swimming room in this one so no more plants (but am considering Vallis in pots...)

I may remove three of the skulls an take a saw to them to change the angle they lie at....?

Cheers!
