Betta Tank Re-Scape? DONE XD

Post by aly_starh on Fri Nov 13, 2009 2:09 pm

(abit messy [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] alt="" /> )

Is there anything i can do to it to make it look more nice, i have seen other members tanks on forums and i want to change mine! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] alt="" />

ATM, it just looks yellow and green. I added marbles but its not helping.

Ideas would be great, thanks! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] alt="" /> [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] alt="" />

Hmmmm.....As you have very light coloured substrate and the dividers reflect the light making it look lighter still. Maybe try a black background which may absorb some of the light. You could also try some darker green plants and maybe some moss balls.
Or
Change the substrate to black with a dark background:)

I would arrange the plants a bit neater. Like plant some big plants instead of having plants floating and coming from everywhere, so more of a bunch of plants nicely together.
Other than that, looks good :D You could get some frogbit too!

LOL, i always try to be as quick as i can, because they swim around my hands like pirhanas!!! hahahaha, I just cut the plants and then replant where-ever.

Might do it today or tommorrow, then post updates, thanks for ideas though.
