Just got a 36G bowfront tank. I'm looking for ideas on decorating it. I just need some argonite/dolomite/crushed oyster shells and I'm good to start. Size is about 36' wide x 16 bow x 20 high
here are my prefences:
-- only real plants
-- many hiding places
-- no cheapie, kid's tank, "don't fish here", pirates tresure chests, etc
After I figure out how to resize photos, i"ll post an image of 10 galllon so you have an idea.
Previously what I have used:
-- piles of slate stone
-- artificial log
-- amazon swordplants
-- corkscrew val and tall val in background
-- plastic log stumps
tallish/dense hiding places in back left and back right
low bulby plants in front and a small hiding place under rock
typical stock
ALWAYS
bunch of cories, catfish
gouramis
VARIABLE
red tail shark ;; may be too large for tank, they always grow to10-12 inches for me
platies
swordtails, rarely
yellow lightning cichlid
rams ;; have not faired well for me
LOOKING FOR
1- tank scape suggestions
2- stocking suggestions
Currently initial stock planned is:
4 julie like cories
2 pearl gouramis
1 dwarf gourami ;; from other tank
1 rainbow fish ;; from other tank, but kind of boring
2 whiteclouds ;; from other tank, boring, but haven't found heater yet and tank is running 74 ish
Then the next week complete the stocking.
