Regular Member GoldfishGoddess Posted July 9, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2005 Just wanted to see what theme all you fish lovers have your tanks set up as (and if, as many people here, including me, have more than one tank, then just chose your favorite theme of all your tanks). Thanx! Natural - (natural colored - plants, gravel, driftwood, rocks, etc.) Beach - (sand, coral and other sea colored plants, etc.) Fantasy World - (castles, colored gravel, orange and other un-natural colored plants, etc.) Artistic - (your own creative theme) Mix of things - (no real theme, a mix of things, maybe you have bright colored gravel then natural colored plants, etc.) Other - Please Specify! Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kortniee Posted July 9, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2005 Mine's relatively naturalistic, except I have brightish blue stones because I liked the color. And I have a terra cotta pot, which I don't think occurs in nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member GoldfishGoddess Posted July 9, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2005 lol. I forgot to say what my tank is. I chose artistic, but if I could choose two, I would have also chosen mix of things. I have brightish darkish blue gravel. Natural colored plants. A reddish brown and white rock, plastic gems, and a plastic starfish. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Kissy Posted July 9, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2005 heh a starfish Mine's very natural with real river rocks and realistic plants. It used to have really nice looking lava rock, but I didn't want to risk anything. Its soon to have driftwood and real plants tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member TamtheLittleBlackMoor Posted July 9, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2005 Natural here, driftwood, assorted live plants, river rocks and pebbles. There are clear and blue polished stones as well as a glow-in-the-dark dragon head for decoration which actualy really fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member lcwinne Posted July 10, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 10, 2005 It's kind of hard for me to vote in this one..... I started out with my new tank under one theme and it's slowly changing as the months start to go by. Or should I say, the way I originally set it up, my goldies decided they liked a bit of a "hodge-podge" and started moving things around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BigRedandBlindWillie Posted July 10, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 10, 2005 I have this whole very natural thing going on with my tank. LOADS of live plants, driftwood, and river rock. Out of all the themes ive had (and ive had many... salt water theme, fanatasy type theme, etc...) I love the natural look the best, and could never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jeana727 Posted July 10, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 10, 2005 I think Natural. I have some gravel (purple, blue & pink) but I mostly have big rocks. I have recently added a bunch of shells & lots of naturals colored smooth stones. And I have lots of plants. I grew some from a pack of pods (I really like those things!) & recently added some other green plants I got at my LFS. So my goldies are constantly at work changing & re-arranging things for me. (Thanks guys) I think when I leave the room they all rush over and start pulling up plants!! And return to regular innocent swimming when i come back!!

Regular Member Kissy Posted July 11, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 11, 2005 Wow smack..that's a lot of tanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Graham Posted July 11, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 11, 2005 Natural by default. I am the "accidental hobbyist" so I did not put much thought into it at the beginning - and the lack of fish stores meant I didn't have variety. But, now that I am getting more involved in all this, I am preparing for a more dramatic look, befitting a Graham Norton! We are going artistic, on the Japanese theme... I have always wanted a Japanese goldfish set-up, since I was little - there was a Japanese restaurant we went to all the time and it had a stream running all through it, you crossed over little bridges to get to different tatami rooms - and there were so many beautiful koi and goldfish in it! Also, the new location and type of GN's tank means he is not so visible so I really want to do black rocks and bright green live plants to show him up more. I have a frog tank with pink gravel and very realistic big yellow and orange water lily (they love sitting on the leaves)- without pink gravel, you couldn't see the frogs! The new 12 gallon will be an artistic Asian theme, too. But, barebottomed. I do really like the natural look and will try it again - if I can keep the plants alive!

Guest Balsa Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Mine doesn't really have a theme... Blue gravel, a green plant, a pink plant, and a small bubble wall... My tank's only 2 gallons, so I don't have much to work with, but I've always wanted a Roman-themed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member sollicitus_witness Posted July 12, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 12, 2005 I don't have a theme either..... I just throw in whatever looks nice, I always wanted to try a theme though. I have a fall of rome set with 2 large seashells a neonic plant, and a grn plant, and blue and red gravel, its really interesting really...
