I'm very excited, its my first tank in 20 years.

I cycled it and have had live fish in it for a few weeks. But Last night I decorated it and added live plants. Fingers crossed that I didn't screw up and the plants will live.

I've never seen a tank that shape before, very different. You also have some very good decorating skills.
 
That is awesome!

LOVE it! Where in the world did you find a tank like that? Also, wow, just wow, that must have taken you forever to plant and decorate like that. What type of fish do you have?
 
- its a biobubble aquatic kit from biobubble pets. Its actually easier than it looks. The base expands almost a foot tall so you can take the dome off and arrange plants or what not


I have just a few plants and 4 lil fish. 1 guppy and 3 misc feeders. Its only a 3 gallon tank so i cant go fish crazy :)
 
You don't need to go fish crazy with it looking like that. Is it hard to maintain and is it noisy? I've been thinking about doing a small desktop tank at work but I've been afraid of trying to upkeep it at work and not being there on the weekends. It looks awesome.
 
Thanks everyone

Abby - I am trying to figure the work thing out myself. Mine is 3 gallons and way to heavy to move to clean. I work for the manufacturer though so they would be understanding if i had one on my desk and was dragging in buckets and supplies to maintain it :)

I am planning to do a work tank myself, i am planning on trying to set up as close to a low maint tank as i can with critters and plants that clean and critters that eat the plants (so they wont get hungry over a weekend). I have seen slow release foods in the stores but i dont know how well they work
 
Wow, that's awesome. I don't think I'd get any sympathy from my boss.LOL. Still haven't given up the idea/hope though. Hey seriously your tank is fabulous and I hope you'll post updates/photos on your work tank project -very interested. Love your tank. I have a 1 1/2 gallon that we bought just to save some plattie fry and I just moved them into the 10 gallon platty tank so I'm hoping to do something that looks half as good as yours and maybe set it up as just a red shrimp (what are those called? Red shrimp or do they have another name?). Anyway it has a small LED light mounted above so I'm thinking some sort of low light plant. Any ideas on what I could use?
 
I've seen some gel slow release food online that promises not to be messy. No idea if it actually does what says though. I think it only got rated by users something like 2.5 stars out of five. I almost bought some to test out but then ended up backing out and not ordering it.
