Hi! I currently have two 2.5gs needing to be set up for 2 of my HM marble males and I just dont know what I want to do with them just yet..?
And I was wondering if you all could help my out with some ideas and maybe some pictures with your tanks and what you used to put them together. :].
I have a lot of supplies already.
3 bags of natural colored rocks
1 bag of black rocks
10+ fake plants
5 clay pots
3 bags of white black natural mixed colored rocks
(all needs to be cleaned!) (any pointers to what works best)
You could seperate the black & white gravel. Than, you will put the black in one 2.5g and the white in one 2.5g - Thank you can slightly "sprinkle" white on top of black. (like ten black). Than do the same with black on top of white. (like ten white)
you could set up the tanks as complete opposites. one, themed white, one themed black. it'd look really great if you had a black, and a white betta. xD
otherwise, i usually try to go all-natural. ya know, natural rocks, green plants, ect. :d
Sashi- Thats sounds pretty cool! But I dont know what I would do for decor.
Luimeril- I like the natural look as well. But I still dont know what to do for the decor...
I know I am going to set up a bubble stone because they are so much easier to take care of so that leaves more room for other things.
Do you think I should go with live or fake plants with this small of a set up? BTW..these are red marble HM
I believe you can use vinegar and water to clean decor, or just boil the deco really really well, then let air dry.
For deco, if you go for a natural look, I think terra cotta pots are pretty good decoration. You turn 'em sideways, break 'em, and it could look like a little garden. Or, you could get an old glass jar, cover it in aquarium sealant and gravel, so its a tunnel, but looks more natural and rocky.
You could get driftwood, and maybe try to "carve" a hole in it (I don't know how well this would work though, I've never tried it) or a coconut cave.
The black with a few white sprinkles of gravel idea sounds cool, and the vice versa idea.
I posted some plants and some other things I know I am adding in the other thread if you guys want to check that one out. :]
