i thought they probably would but for pictures it'd be cool. maybe a more natural bonsai with driftwood and some type of moss attached to it to simulate the foliage.

FishEggs good idea but my loaches and cories unrake as fast as I rake. They seem to think they own the place

i couldn't tell if you did or not but i think it would look cool if you raked the sand like a japanese rock garden.

I keep forgetting, thanks for asking! Will try to take some tonight.

still waiting for tank pics here

I know how that is and sometimes i just don't do things if i can't start it right. Just remember that patience is good in keeping fish. especially in the beginning stages. i just kept reading up on things on this forum while i had to wait. learned a lot more than i knew was involved in keeping fish and that's just the fw side.

Just in the planning stage right now. The big holdup is that I'm waiting for a bid back from a welder on the aquarium stand. I tend to get impatient and not being able to set anything up is killing me

Thanks for the rep. how's the tank coming along?
