Juno's Tank

[Big Vine]

Picked up a good deal on a 5 gal. corner Eclipse yesterday, which will be Juno's tank for the long-term. She moulted yesterday morning, so I had given her about 24 hrs. to harden-up prior to taking these pics this morning.

ooo very nice setup. that poor platy looks kinda scared...she dinner? or brunch?

you should put a background on the tank so her colors pop a bit more

Beautiful!!! Love the black gravel!

Looks great im sure she'll be very happy, but there doesnt look like theres alot of places to hide in there??

Now what are you gonna do with the 20gal? I suggest a betta.

Thanks guys.
The platy is probably going to be more of a 'midnight snack,' Fuzz.
I agree about the background too...I'll get to work on it ASAP.

She doesn't have an actual cave in there, but I figured she doesn't really need one because of the way the tank is on top of a 5-foot tall bookshelf in the corner of the room. She can crawl in behind/between the rocks if she wants to. I'm sure she'll start excavating the gravel to her liking as well, so she'll be able to build a little 'privacy wall' if she feels the need, lol.

I'll have to see how it looks with a black background, and then I might decide to change things around a bit...And thanks for the suggestion about the 20 gal., Bob, but that tank is now officially my 'Platy Project' tank. *DRUMMER*

tell her she shouldnt eat after it gets dark...its hard on the digestive system! lol!

BV...how come you dont have a betta? lol. everyone should have one!

and just curious...how much money do you spend on fake plants? lol

 

[big54bob]

Oh cmon you need a betta for the 20gal.

Awesome looking cray, BV! Has the platy become snackfood yet?

 

[IDunnoWhy]

I agree about the background, but aside from that, the tank looks great, Juno is a lucky lil' cray!

 

[Big Vine]

Hehe, thanks...platy is still alive!
As for the betta idea---not gonna happen, lol.

how much money do you spend on fake plants? lol

Too much! But the good thing is that I haven't had to get any in quite some time...I just keep re-using the old ones that I have 'stockpiled' in my 'fish stuff' cabinet.

LOL...in the end i think its way cheaper to just go to live plants! and they get bigger too

 

[skratikans]
