FAHAKA Home

Post by Dodsy »

Iv got a 300 gallon tank, and im just wondering what i should put in it.

Im thinking a huge piece of bogwood with a hiding place and loads of different kinds of plants.

Any hints and tips for me would be really grateful.

Decorate as heavily as possible on the sides & back, leaving the front/middle open for swimming.

Here's my 125g fahaka tank:
