My 20 Gallon w/ Driftwood and new plants - Aquarium Advice

Marconis · 06-30-2007, 01:02 PM

Last night after moving the 20 gallon from my brothers room to mine, I added PFS, two pieces of driftwood and a bunch of fake plants I bought. I am pretty pleased with what I have done. Sparky thinks I should add more hiding places. Would you agree? I have a cave like resin piece but I can't find room for it with how everything is currently positioned.

Very pretty!

I think you could manage a cave or two in there. What about moving some of the taller plants into the back right corner and placing the cave closer to the foreground? You could also place some of those taller plants around/behind that cool driftwood on the right and make yourself a cave without having to put anything else in there. The plants would sort of be like curtains.

Of course if you went planted, you could really grow some neat hiding spaces around that driftwood and rocks.

Live Plants (hint hint)

I agree, you can easily fit a cave, just reorganize the plants a little bit

Too crowded? I like it but I feel it may be a bit too clustered in the middle.

Not too crowded, IMHO. Although I would place that driftwood on the right a little farther away from the cave. Tank looks great otherwise, though.

Thanks Land Ghoti, you always have kind things to say about my tanks

That's looking really good. The fish colors are shown off very nicely in there.
