My divided 10 gallon I just finished

Here is my divided tank. I plan to add some real plants later.

It looks really nice! Great job! I love the environments and plants that you have in them. I especially love the middle one, just because of the cave in the middle and the plants. It looks like your fish will really enjoy that tank! :D

Thanks everyone. The only concern I had was with the filter. It is one of those internal whisper filters and I was so scared that my fish would be sucked up into it. I put some pantyhose on it but will it still filer the water very well with the pantyhose on it? I am excited because I finally got my gravel vaccumm a couple days ago too. :)

I like the alternating gravel too.

Yes the filter will still work. It will slow the flow a little and need to be checked regularly to make sure it is not clogged but it will work fine.

This.

I, too, have an internal whisper filter: a 10i or whatever. Roy Cherry seems to have no problem swimming around or in front of it. A couple of my cory catfish even swim up against the intake, paying it no attention. I've put my finger against it, and it's noticeably doing its job, but apparently it's gentle enough that the fish don't mind.
