Please give suggestions as to how to make it look a bit more real.

I love the gravel, and the way the airstone is hidden, so gravel is letting out bubbles.

Corydora_FREAK · 09-06-2007, 10:28 PM

Your gravel is the exact same as the kind that is in my tiger barb tank! Great tiger barb minds think alike

Looks Good!

TigerBarb12 · 09-06-2007, 10:34 PM

Yeah. lol. Thanks

FinnFan · 09-07-2007, 07:04 AM

Looks cool

FishHead · 09-07-2007, 07:27 AM

looks great man.. i really like it...barbs and cories rule!

Sowilu · 09-07-2007, 08:29 AM

I like it. I like the second picture better. Makes it look real. Maybe adding more plastic plants would make it look even better.

FishHead · 09-07-2007, 09:02 AM

the more i look at it the more i think the plastic plant in the front doesnt fit. maybe trying to replace that with another life-like silk one would do the trick.

I have that same plant that you have on your far left.

Ichthius · 09-07-2007, 11:02 AM

Looks pretty cool

. I'd say the tall, green, cabomba like plant should go in the back. Looking to get more fake plants? I've got about half a dozen I want to get rid of. Be glad to give them to you, if you're interested.

TigerBarb12 · 09-07-2007, 02:48 PM

I could use some fake plants, yes ichthius. If you would be so kind, i would much appreciate that, thanks

OH and thanks everyone for the comments, im gonna rearrange when the fish go in, i just put the dcor in to spread some bacteria in the tank, speed up cycle.

Kyoberr · 09-07-2007, 04:13 PM

I think some bigger (whether real or not) plants would help out. I think it is looking good too. Some fish may be good as well. (:

fishbguy · 09-07-2007, 04:24 PM

more real eh??

real plants, real fish, real drift wood.

but really...i like it alot. can't wait for the fish to go in

Obsidian · 09-07-2007, 07:37 PM

Some one else has a tank with those silk plants in them, and I really like those. I think those look more real than the plastic plants. Either way something that goes clear to the top would be a good addition. I have that gravel in my tank too. My Oto cat likes it a lot I think because its easy for him to clean. But who knows the real reason LOL.

FishHead · 09-07-2007, 07:47 PM

are you doing only tigers are you mixing in some albinos, greens and others? in my 55 im grabbing some albinos tomorrow to add in. i should have about 10 barbs total.

TigerBarb12 · 09-07-2007, 08:37 PM

im just gonna go with normal barbs

Gourami Swami · 09-07-2007, 09:13 PM

If you want the real look, get rid of some of your plastic stuff and buy a hunk of driftwood. Instant natural look. Also, getting rid of the plastic rock/cave peices would help alot, and plating a little more densely with the fake plants. And please please please get rid of that hideous tree stump thing! :P

This is a tank I had set up a few months ago. Everything in this tank is false, bu I think it has a nice "natural" look.

TigerBarb12 · 09-07-2007, 09:23 PM

I like the tree stump, and im not wanting it to look all that natural, i just want it to not have like fake ornaments such as castles, bridges, things that arent in the wild.

Oh, and my tiger barbs love the stump

I think ill go with a few more plants

Ill make a tank look really natural when im 18

TigerBarb12 · 09-07-2007, 10:54 PM

Ok, got some crappy pics of the fish in my 38g, they wouldnt be in there, but my mom said after 24 hours, the 10 gallons are gone, so, they may die.

Ichthius · 09-08-2007, 12:35 PM

Not bad. Cute fish. I hope they do alright. I sent you a PM about the plants, btw, if you're still interested.

TigerBarb12 · 09-08-2007, 02:47 PM

ok, thanks, and thanks for the fish compliment
