My Plastic Jungle

[MonteSS]

75g tank. Numerous wild Apistos and wild Peruvian Scalare. Columbian Tertras and Pepper Cories. Also a pair of Keyholes tempoarily.

The plastic plants need to get a little "dirty" to tone down the brighness a bit. Fish love the caves from the rocks and the nooks and crannies the plannts provide.

They are establishing territories and hopfully will get along as they mature.

Thats a nice set up there.

That is about as realistic looking as fake plant set-ups can get. Very well done! I like the aquascaping. The school of columbians is a nice touch. The tank has a very simple and clean look to it.

Very cool aquascaping; I really like what you did. I like to use plastic plants in my fish tanks as well. During the week Michaels arts and craft store besause I like how real they look and the large selection for my small tanks up to my large tanks. FYI they have a sale one day out of every week on all the fake plants and flowers.

Very cool.

Looks awesome, Bill. I'm all about me some Columbian tetras.

I need to figure out which day of the week that Michael's sale occurs. My anubias is getting mowed down by my one tropheus in the big tank and I could use a bit more green in that one and the 150.

Thanks for posting!

Very beautiful set up. :sign0173:

Can you use all fake plants, i.e. Michaels, Joann Fabrics or even A.C. more? That would mean I don't have to over pay for fake plants at pet shops anymore. Oh happy day! arty0006:

Thanks. I am happy the way it looks and it should only look better as it ages.

I have some silk plants in another tank and wow does brown algae like to grow on it.
