My First Planted Tank 90 Gallons
This is my take as of December 2011 about five months since I first got it. Its been through many of changes, in these pictures you can see my Plecos, and one of my Clown Loaches. The Mollies are always in my pictures because they over populate the tank like crazy. The plants grow very fast as shown above. I use those green and blue fertilizers I bought from a near by store, they work well and the dosing is very easy just four pumps once a day. There is a few more I need to make the plants a darker green I just haven’t been able to purchase them yet.
wow .. just wow .. i wish i had these type of aquascape .. i only goes for Iwagumi .. the barbs are just right amount .. this is very nice ! i think i saw some CRS and Otto in the same tank .. nice !
i miss my planted tank days especially when i have that huge 8ft tank … i think i wanna get aquascaping started back again someday in the near future.
I really wana make one of these Aquascapes for my room, they look so amazing. And the ones with the underwater waterfall (actually sand particles) look incredible!
This is a really interesting looking fish tank, though i can see a few problems already, first off while the fake plants and coral are very beautiful and fun they take away from the natural beauty of the wild life. Secondly it appears as though some of the fish (top center) are painted/tattooed, it makes them look very snazy but can drastically effect their health. Lastly there is a turtle in there, I don’t know if the fish would be happy with that, i could foresee many bit fins and scale damage if not missing fish altogether.
I do encourage the use of fake aquarium decor sparingly to get a particular look or to add a splash of color and there are very many species of fish that have beautiful coloring naturally such as the ram cichlids discus or mollies and also many color variations particularly with betas and guppies. Some other safe tankmates may include african dwarf frogs, snails, crabs, and shrimp, but always research ahead to see if your species of choice are compatible together.
