Hello TFF people!

This is my brand new 5 gallon, Aqua Culture tank!

Please tell me if you like it, and give me any pointers for a better tank!

Get rid of most of the rocks, they are a death trap for fish that get stuck behind them, and they also trap dirt. Have one or two big rocks with plenty of space around them so water and fish can get behind them safely.

Put some plants in there

I put the rocks in there to kinda represent a “Scree”. (Google it)

(And, I made certain, that there was no room for any fish to get trapped in there. It will eventually House my betta fish (so the 10 gallon is free) Cherry Shrimp, and snails)

I really have to agree with Colin most vigorously on this one. The potential to be a dirt trap is my biggest concern.

Like I said, it has no gaps whatsoever.

Seems your mind was already made up anyway

I’m afraid I have to agree with the other, Pheonix. It looks great but not safe. You should get the package with the plants on Friday and that will help. I would maybe leave the large stone in back and scatter a few others around. Once I clean out my cabinet I will send you some aquarium decor too. Just moving a little slow there.

 

[PheonixKingZ]

Ok, thank you! I will do some rescaping later.

My bad. Oh, and by the way, are you on a new tank spree? If so then that is great. Your next one should be at least a 90.

Oh, man! I wish!!
