My Ten Gallon Tank!

[tamara]

Well i'm still kind of fixing it up and all...this isn't the way i want it for ever so i would like as many comments as i can get!
i have 5 guppies (3 dragontails, 2 redtails), 1 dalmation molly (born june25<--his parents passed away), 1 bristle nose pleco and one albino cory catfish =]
my pleco in a cave(cave has lettuce beside it)<--half of a bowl that i broke my accident

two red tail guppies (not a very good picture..but they won't stay still!!)

3 dragon tail guppies 2 redtail guppies<--can't really tell because they won't stop moving!!

and that isn't that great of a picture...but that's my 10 gallon tank!

any suggestions would be great! good or bad i don't care i just would like some!!!
thanks<33

Looks nice!

If it was my tank though, I'd change to more natural gravel or even sand, and get some rocks/wood to be more natural decorations.

Also, you probably know but cories like to be in groups.

and well when i got him i didn't know that..
but now that i do they don't ahve them...jsut curious could he be with like..panda cories or a different type of cory?

Nope, doesn't have to be albinos, he would group with bronze cories as the albino cory is a variant of the bronze.

Don't know about pandas, they look quite different to albinos.

do you have an overall pic of the tank? I would suggest getting at least a backround (i suggest black). Im not into the artificial ornaments, more into the natural look. But if thats the way you want to set up your tank then hey, by all means make it how you like it!

I second changing the gravel to sand. I think it would really compliment your ornaments too. By bury-ing the base of the lighthouse a little and the wheels of the cannon somewhat, it would give a cool sandstorm aftermath look. Like this: http/www.neatorama.com/images/2006-06/li...buried-sand.jpg Well, maybe not that much! lol I do like the fake ornaments, but a theme with them would make it really cool. By the way, cute cave and pleco.

 

[tamara]

Thank you all very much!
and i would love to do sand like in that picture!!!thanky ou wendy =]
and i will change it sand/maybe a few natural rocks?
and it did have a theme with the cananon exploding the lighthouse kind of
but i realised the pleco needed a cave so temporarly that's it.

looks good already though i would agree with the plain background. it surprised me how much the fish stood out with a plain blue or black background (i change mine alot from one to the other as i cant decide which i like better )

I say less fake ornaments and more plants and bog wood oh and as the others have said maybe 2-3 more friends for your cory. What kind of lighting you you have?

 

[tamara]

i'm going to add a black back ground in 5 minutes
and i think the light is..like a25watt/120volt...do'nt know what else there is to say about it..it's a lightbulb..lol!
B) thanks guys!
