Could I make a tropical look like marine?

You can add creyfish, Cherry shrimp, amano shrimp , red claw crabs. and any other inverts to help make it seem more Salt Water Like. Then I would add Gobies and some eel like fish.

Hello again Sylvia - fresh from your reply to my other post ! - wow those Rainbows are very impressive fish - just one reservation, reading the habitat they are from would they be content in the bare rocky environment I am creating - no bogwood ! ?

Thanks
