I've seen many pictures here on AA and other sites of absolutely beautiful natural looking tanks with lots of plants, nice substrate, and things like rocks, driftwood, and little cave rock things. I didn't really plan ahead much on how I wanted my recent 20 gallon tank setup to look. I had a old castle decor, a few small fake plants and I got some blue gravel. I later added some taller fake plants and a background. Here is what it looks like now-
I know the castle and maybe the blue gravels makes it look unnatural, I've found a driftwood with plants decor at PetSmart for a hefty $35 that I like and am planning to get to replace the castle. I also would like to add more plants (maybe live ones? ) and some rocks and cave things. Any suggestions on what I could do to make it look more natural? Now I kinda wish I had used some kind of sand or a natural colored gravel when I got it. Is it possible to change substrate after the aquarium is fully established? If so, then how? Does the background look good?
Any suggestions would be appriceated!
Thanks!
