Decor for knife

[tdins_2]

in my 25g tank i have a piece of drift wood but it seemd to dirty my water and put alge on my glassand and now i have 3 large plants and fake coral what other ornaments would be suitable for my loaches and brown ghost knife

A tube of some sort is good for a ghost knife fish. I've seen people use a piece of PVC glued to a piece of styrofoam to keep it afloat-- or you could spend big bucks on a tube marketed for this purpose.
I'd get rid of the coral -- it doesn't really belong in a freshwater tank. Of course it's just a matter of preferance. If it's fake, like made of plastic or something then it wont affect your water, but if it's a dead piece of coral, it could raise your KH and pH to levels unsuitable for your fish.
If you soak driftwood for a week in a separate tub of water before putting it in your tank, it will usually bleed out most of the color in it.

Have fun aquascaping!

i am thinking of getting rocks and drift wood and setting my tank up similar to yours but with more plant because my loaches and bgk would love it what do u suggest and what are the best rocks to use

I'm not very familiar with the fish you will be keeping or what water params they require. Loaches and GKF need lower pH's right? You'd want to use rocks that won't affect your pH at all. Granite, quartz, slate and some sandstones and igneous rocks are non-reactive--but still test any rocks you want to use.
You can test a rock's carbonate content by dropping vinegar on them--if it bubbles or fizzes it indicates the presence of alkaline compounds--so don't use it (unless you are keeping fish that need high pH and KH)
You could also check what a rock does to the water by filling a bucket with dechlorinated tap water, aerating it overnight, testing it's pH and KH, then dropping the rocks in, come back a few days later and test the water again.

Also, If you need driftwood--I sell it. Let me know if you want some.
