Decoration ideas?

[josh7]

I have like 2 caves and 2 large fake plants but I meet to make about 3 or more large caves any idea on what to do. Could I use rock? Or maybe clay pots idk all ideas are appreciated

Sone people use clay pots. Use tge none glazed or u can silicone some slate to make caves. I have also seen pvc coverd in sand.

Piece together a few bits of driftwood? My catfish loves it.

 

[reefdiver]

What is it you are trying ti add lady

 

[josh7]

Driftwood would be awesome can you tie it together or do you have to silicone them?

I don't think using silicone on driftwood would last as the wood degrades over time and the parts of the wood the silicone adheres to will eventually break apart. You would do well to tie pieces together with fishing line, or even screw together. Screws are made of iron & carbon, sometimes coated in zinc. one or two screws into the wood will hold for years and won't harm your fish.

Alright that sounds cool and can I use any hardwood I find at like a lake? Or does it have to be store bought?

 

[busbybutt]

I lean mine securley on one another but you have to get slightly different pieces of driftwood for this to work. Below are the best pics i have of my tank setup. They have their own terrotories so i get away with a few different spieces that would normally fight in 1 area.

That's awesome looking I think I will definitley be putting some driftwood in. But can I get it from a lake if its hardwood and I boil it?

 

[busbybutt]

Mine was just carefully picked from a local store and I soaked overnight in a bucket.

 

[josh7]

Oh nice I might go that route will see.
