I agree. Sometimes simplicity makes a tank look very nice and clean!

I personally don't care for the blue gravel, but that's just me. I happen to be a natural-looking-tank kind of person.

oliesminis · 03-19-2008, 01:50 AM

what are the dimensions? looks a different shape to other 10gs i see

I am a natural-looking-tank kind of person too but,It looks good.

nathanbarry · 03-19-2008, 10:03 AM

Well i did want a natural looking tank but at the time i couldn't get no white gravel and bogwood...ill check the dimensions but its almost square, its actually 9.7 gallons.

nathanbarry · 03-20-2008, 09:26 AM

You can see the male and female platies, well they have been in there for about 5 days. They seem to have settled down and they both get on, when will they start breeding?

nathanbarry · 03-22-2008, 01:31 PM

At the moment my 10g has 2 platies, 2 kuhli loaches that are small and can hardly be seen and 2 oto's...do you think i could add something else and what could i add?

trashion · 03-22-2008, 03:20 PM

Add more kuhlis and otos. They do better in groups.

nathanbarry · 03-23-2008, 02:10 AM

Could i add a one or two dwarf puffers?

oliesminis · 03-23-2008, 04:34 AM

no you cant add dwarf puffer, they need species specific tanks and different water condition to most fish.

i would suggest perhaps a centre piece fish such as a dwarf gourami.

as long as the water quality is ok you can expect some platy fry fairly soon

nathanbarry · 03-23-2008, 08:18 AM

Thanks

How is the water condition different seing as its a tropical puffer?
