i was just wondering what everyones favorite type of ornament for a fish tank is, do you guys prefer natural stuff like rocks, plants and bogwood. or do you like sunken ships, 'action' air stuff (bubblin' divers etc), or do you prefer home made stuff like plant pots, cocanut caves and what not?

my personal favorite was a aquired on a recent trip to crete, its a hand made clay hoplite helmet and i kept lookin at it all week, every time i went past i was debating wether to buy it or not, and on the last day my girlfriend bought it me :)
unfortunatly on the way come it broke into about 20 pieces so i stuck it together with some (non toxic, water proof) glue, and it now has a small hole where i couldnt get the last piece in but it now looks as though a greek warrior was killed and his helmet rolled into a river or something. it looks great amongst my plants (imo).


(I only put it in my tank as it was clay and from a pottery class i took once i know that clay is inert and wouldnt leech anything into the water ever. And i dont advise putting anything in your tank without cleaning it first!!)

so what are your favorite types of ornament?
 
my favorite ornament is a lovely vase i got in gambia.

in tanks its got to be rocks...lots of them...i just love rock
 
:D I like a natural looking tank, so in my 29 gallon tank I have this large log and it's the best decoration in the tank. In my 46 gallon tank, I designed it to look like the lost empire of Atlantis. In the center is this impressive roman temple and I love to watch the fish swim through the columns! The tank also has a cliff on the side with more columns on top and a mountain on the other side where fish can go inside, but the temple is my favorite! :fish:

I'll agree with freshmike. The natural look works for me.

However, your hoplite helmet sounds pretty cool. You should post pics sometime if you can... :thumbs:

You're forgiven mh! ;) Is there a freshmike on this site? You're not the 1st...
