just wondering what type of decorations i should put in my tank for my fantail and black moor what do they prefer any ideas welcome
glassbird said:I am not sure what they prefer, but I can suggest some things to avoid...anything that is sharp or spikey, especially plants. Moors WILL find a way to poke themselves in the eye with everything possible, and fantails will get their tails caught and torn. Just go for rounded edges on everything.
Also, do not get any hollow ornaments that they can try to get into. Because they will try, and then get stuck.
o ok well i have a bubble decoration not sharp and a couple silk plants with big leaves and a massive cave i can fitt my whole arm in cause my fantail loves it but the moor dosent bother with it

After several minutes of visual searching, I saw him stuck between the back wall and the intake pipe to the filter. He managed to drag a piece of plastic plant into the space between the wall and the intake...he could have reversed himself out if it was just the smooth wall and pipe, but by adding the plant he was jammed in good and tight.
That was very creative, I must say. I eased the intake pipe away from the wall and he (and the plant) floated free. He is fine, so far. Mostly annoyed that he missed a meal. Good grief.
