Im trying to come up with some new ideas for my natural planted tank.

Can Y'all post some pics of your tanks to give me some inspiration?

Themis and Pigg's divided tank:


Atlas and Artemis' divided tank:


Both are 10g tanks and have been rearranged and have more plants/have grown bigger. I can't take pics right now, it's too dark and the tank lights too bright for my camera :p This was about an hour after I first planted them.

Current plants in my tank:

4 Corkscrew Vallisneria
1 Java Fern
2 Swords (I believe)
1 Mystery (mislabelled)
1 Water Wisteria

Themis and Pigg's divided tank:



A pal of mine (coincidentally SHE is named Artemis ^^) and she has the plant on the left in her tank. Its overtaking her tank and I consider cutting down a few of the branches and replanting them into my tank. Do you think this will work? I am more concerned damaging her plant.

Nice aquariums Btw guys/gals!

Nothingness, I am super jealous.

Picture One: My 16 gal when I first scaped it
Picture Two: My 5 gal when I first scaped it
Picture Three: A 1.5 litre nano tank (jar)
Picture Four: My extremely messy, overgrown 16 gallon a couple of days ago
Picture Five: The same 16 gallon about 18 months/two years ago when it was still neat and pretty.

It's a jar that I believe once held coffee, as I have a few in my cupboards that are identical. I got that particular one when I bought my rescue Apollo (RIP) of the classifieds a few years back. That had been his home for a while. It's been sitting empty taking up space ever since, so I planted it on Friday. :)
This particular one would be no good for housing fry, unfortunately, since I don't think it's even half a gallon.

:dunno: Just kidding; I think your tanks look great considering the dimensions that you're working with, especially that last pic of yours :thumbsup: When I had a 45g tank, I could not get it to look decent for the life of me. It became much easier when I upgraded to a 90g which has a really easy footprint to manipulate and plenty of space to pretty much do what I want without having to be creative. I honestly put very little thought into my aquascaping.

I *think* it's macranda, but my lighting wasn't high enough to maintain it and it eventually melted away. :( You can see the lower-right hand tips beginning to melt in that picture, actually. It's a shame, because it was beautiful.

Thanks, Funkman! I remain, howver, super jealous. As you can see, my tank didn't stay that well-scaped. :p I think I need a lower-maintenance scape.
