Ghost Town

[ghostsword]

My young daughter decided that she wanted a tank. I was keeping this for emersed setup, but she got the better of me.

So it has two frogs, and three guppies.

A 15L optiwhite.:
- Hydrocotyle sp. Japan
- Bacopa Carolina emersed
- Java moss
- Java ferns
- Akadama substrate
- Manzanita wood
- Ghost house

Sorry Eddie..

So you finally have found the use for akadama and tank...
Nice castle.

Akadama is amazing, you were 100% right about it.

The tank is now on the sitting room, so the kid can enjoy it and see her frogs. Just had to get a hang on filter. We now catch bugs outside, and worms to feed the frogs, plus daphnia. She choose the castle.

Need to post pictures of the sponge bob tank.

reminds me of something out of a tim burton animation, not sure why. my little girl just looked at it and asked if i can make her one. she said it was an edward scissor hands house ha ha

Make her one, the house can be bought at pets at home, add moss and ferns around the house for some visual impact and low light for shades. Very spooky.

Love Ghost Town Tank.
I want to do a tank for my Little Boy, as he loves watching the tank in my room and the ones outdoors.
Big Bold Colored Fish and Shrimp. So will Prob go with Mollies

For small fish for a tank I would go with platties, lots of colours to play with, they breed easily and are very active!

It all depends on the size of tank you have for the kid to play with, but a 50L would be able to hold 6 fish easily.

Yeah I Have some Dwarf Platties already, and Will get some more for the tank (need to go pick it up this week).
And a Pair of Longfin Rams and the usual Shrimp/Crab/Snail Crew.

I could never keep rams alive, bought two and they died in days. gave up on them.

Platies are amazing fish for colours, great attitude as well, better than swords.
