Pictures

Why is that just about everyone that sends in a pic of their aquarium, there is no back drop?

 

[Fluff]

Well, I can't speak for everyone but, I have backgrounds. I just haven't gotten around to putting them on.

I don't like paying for accessories that are not essential to the health and well being of my fish. I hope to have real plants being the focus.

i got some real plants

and what is the point of backgrounds i mean honestly

 

[kukerdan]

yeah, and decoration that get in the way of fish, just to look pretty, instead of giving them somthing to hide in or swim through

 

[Fluff]

The question was about backdrops, not decorations. I only use black or blue backgrounds. I don't think they are a bad thing. They help hide the equipment wires. :?

it is more aesthetically pleasing if you dont see the wires...

i have backgrounds on both my tanks...i would hate to look through the tanks and see the wires...

 

[Devilishturtles]

I agree. I have backgrounds on all of my tanks, too. Much more aesthetically pleasing, IMHO. Who wants to look behind a tank and see nothing but black wires and wall?

 

[QTOFFER]

Besides hiding wires, backgrounds help cut down reflections that may spook the fish.

I like the neutral colour that the wall behind my tank provides. If I have set the tank up right I don't really notice wires.

I am not against backdrops, but I am a bit of a tight wad and would rather buy fish or plants....
