da_angel_of_war@hotmail.co Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hey guys I saw an amazing photo of a larger tank with just sand, timber and a single plant and thought about doing a very similar set-up with my 60x30x30. Would a single larger anubias on wood be a good substitute for the lack of plants in the tank? I was thinking of a few of my cory fry for the tank and maybe some dwarf rams? If you have a better idea about these fish as I have no idea please tell me as I would have to put my young corydoras in with rams and find they are not compatible. As I am useless with most fish other than betta's, guppies and corydoras I have no clue as to what the tank would need. I want to go minimal with this tank so I don't want visible things like a heater, so a heater would have to stay out. Unless you know a good way to hide the heater and stuff. Things I want: Almost no plants. No visible heater/no heater. Sand. Fish with personality (ie: not guppies, or goldies) I would like fish that will hang around something and not just swim the entire tank. Pic below of the tank that gave me the idea.

Matt_95 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Gold fish have a tonne of personality, they are very inteligent fish. Your tank is to small anyway though. What about paradise fish? They don't need a heater. Or you could get a inline heater on a ehiem with Lilly pipes. Then you could have a sorority of bettas :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlz0r Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 yeah, i was gunna suggest an inline heater too... but you;d need a canister filter. and both aren't usually cheap. you could get carpeting plant and do an iwagumi zen tank one plant and a few rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da_angel_of_war@hotmail.co Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sorry guys I already have the tank and the sand + wood + rocks and just want to know what kind of fish would go nicely in it. I have the filter already. its a HOB filter. I am not planing on spending any money on it apart from a couple fish. Pictured tank is not mine...
