Here is the product of my experiment.. anyone critics or commenters out there?

Only two lonely guppies boys in there, for now.

Looking good! I've got my 33 gal set up the exact same way, with sand and some river stones, and two pieces of wood in each side. Even got a few guppies in there myself. Are you planning on planting your tank more?

Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what I want to do.. I will probably get some more plants with the heart shaped leaves (( not sure what their names are )), but thats probably it. I wanna keep the plants sparse..

Should I take out all the rocks but the black ones? Its kind of bugging me in the middle..

Yup.. two. Gonna get some more sometime in the future.

Yea, well the thing is, the black stones seem to stick out. I don't really mind though, because I've got some dark brown stones and I think it's just a matter of placing the stones properly so that there is no ONE part of the tank you are attracted to, at a first glance. Not really sure about what the plants are though, better post a pic in the Pics forum and let the experts there identify it for you.

i think your tank looks nice, it'll look even better when the plants grow in and the fish will love you for it. the only thing i don't like too much is the piece of wood standing up on the right of the tank. the one on the left is fuller, so it looks ok, but the other just looks kind of funny--too skinny, i'd try laying it down and propping it on something. just my 2 cents. nice tank though

liking it.

if you get bigger fish though be wary of the danger fo them knocking the wood on the right over

the 2nd guppy is bottom left, then a flash of red on the edge of the wood.

Thanks everyone. I'm not really digging the second peice of wood either, but I can't lay it down on its side because of the slate its attatched to. I wanted to lay it down at first, but a no go.

I'm not gonna have bigger fish. I love guppies too much -- I never grew out of them!

Can anyone identify those plants? I know most of them are low light plants, and I was wondering if you think they'd do alright in 1 wpg.. I will also have ferts and root tabs.

I would just keep the black rocks. I like the peices of driftwood though.

Yeah, sadly, Petco. I know they're some kind of Anubias, but not sure which.
