Congrats on your win with a great looking tank.

For those who didn't win, fine tune your tank and enter again in a future month to show off your improvements.

The next contest will start at the beginning of May. Look for the banner at the top of our forums. You can't win if you don't enter. So consider entering your tank in Tropical Fish Forums' Tank of the Month contest.

Congratulations on the win! Where is guppylover3x’s tank of the month banner? It appears the users name was also spelt incorrectly in both TOTM posts. I can’t wait to see next months entries!

 

[Fishmanic]

Dascrow will soon apply the TOTM winner banner.

spelling of name has been corrected

LOL this made my day!

I must say they are quite cute though, I wouldn’t mind adding tinker bell into my tank any day. I’ll have to look into purchasing one of these!

What can I say... I’m a big kid at heart!

I saw them available on ebay...scroll through the ad toward the bottom to see closeups and sizes....you could put one in the tank and a couple somewhere on top of the tank or on the edges...you might find cheaper elsewhere...saw on alibaba also...comes as a six pack..you could keep two or three and resell the rest!

Awww their so cute! They look even better on the link you provide! I’ll definitely look into purchasing one, you’ve officially convinced me after forwarding the link.

Who can say no to a little bit of Disney?

Thank you!!
