Is the Setting of my Tank OKAY??

Post by Sjsteveo »

Well the Picture shows my Sponge Bob

and 3 other Sponge Bob Decor

I always have Sponge Bob's House as a cave

three bouncing jelly fish

And a Rock that i Tipped to make another Cave

One Bamboo

and 7 Anacharis

is that good enough?

i'm thinking throwing all the Anacharis away and switching it all to Java Fern and Java Moss later when the pet shop has them

but for now is it good enough?

You know when ever I see someone with stuff like that it makes me feel like I'm an boring conservative old man. I see that stuff in the store and I think no way, then I see it in someone tank and I think man that is cool.

Nice tank, might still need a few more plants, maybe lower level. Puffs look happy though. Good job.

Bamboo is not an aquatic plant, everything but the bottom couple of inches should be out of the water or it will die and rot and pollute the tank. Looks nice otherwise.

I like it, definately different from the norm.
A back ground of black (or some other monotone color) would really may everything pop out (and hide your cords). Also I would probably remove the bamboo (amphipious, not aquatic)

ya i totally took the bamboo out, again Pet Co lied LOL

the sponge bob is awesome i love him, that's why i got it, and ya i was looking in some back ground decor but couldn't find i like, mabye if they had a sponge bob one i'll get it loL

AND HONESTLY i do think the puffers like the sponge bob stuff, they're always looking at sponge bob, and the other decorations, and swiming up and down on that purprle thing

and pufferoni hahah it's fine i bet your tank is classy and nice, that's why i was thinking taking it out but it's okay i think i'll just leave it in there

thanks for the compliment guys and the suggestions

i'll look into buying some shorter plants

I agree. I do the same thing; I look at fun decorations like that in the store and I never consider putting them in my tank. Then I see them put to use and I realize I don't have enough of an imagination! :) ;)

It looks really good!

To each his own. If you don't like it, that's you're opinion and you're entitled to it but there's no reason to be insulting. Some don't care for the castle, wizard and dragon I have in mine. I happen to like it.
