This is my 29 gal tank. Its honestly the first tank i have ever setup. Fish people, let me know what you think and if there is anything that you could suggest to improve on.

29gal

Penquin 330

Marineland powerhead w/ prefilter & reverse flow kit
hooked up to under gravel Jet system with 3 camoed jets.

Visi-thermal 100 watt heater

stock:
1 betta
7 glo lite tetras
1 cory

future stock:
2 more cories
2 Blue or bolivian rams ( not sure yet, see how stable the water stays)



Power head camoed pvc leading to UGJ's

Some drift wood and plants. If you look down in between the betta and one of the tall ornaments you can see the camoed jet poking out of the bottom.


Glo lite's... was a pain to get a good shot of these guys.

the betta and the cory, striking a pose for the camera

Nice shot of the bettas colors


I know the aquascaping still needs some work. The rocks might be taken out for some more drift wood, the back ground will be changed to black, AND MORE PLANTS.

Thanks for looking... if you want to see more pics of the tank(s) and fish here is a link.. http://www.reaction-image.net/galler...nk-pics?page=1












ohhh and thats tankS!

Shortly after setting up this tank and putting the betta in there I felt bad for my other new betta being in a tiny bowl. So i got him a 6 gal tank. He's sharing it with a 1 bumblebee goby and 2 amano shrimp.





I also have a 20 gal long, 10 gal, and additional 6 gal eclipse tank that have not been setup up. OMG, its getting out of control.

Post up your Aquarium and fish pics!!

ive always wanted a fish tank, but they are too much of a pain in the ass to clean all the time.

i should just get a little one like that one you posted last. a good starter tank. haha

Ive always wanted one behind my bed .

also got another take in my sister's room with cichlids but the tanke is really plain. i have fancy guppies, ghost shirmps, and albino cory in the tank above. they aren't as fun to watch at cichlids though.

Honstly, the bigger the tank the more room you have for mistakes without killing your fish.


What type of fish you chose is also a big factor if you are just beginning. The 6 gal was for one betta fish which are one of the best beginner fish you can get. It can take a lot of abuse and keep on living until you figure out the proper maintance routine.

Freshwater as salt would drive me nuts.

[supapoopa]

Are those Discus? and CARDINALS! Looks great. i'm thinking of putting in some cardinals later.


I also want to double the amount of plants i have in there right now. Just waiting to see how well current plants will do.


Lol, I was thinking about salt at first, but didn't want to have to slave over the tank weekly.

Thats a misconception. They will only attack other bettas or fish with similar characteristics ( long bright tails ). I've had no problems at all with any of the fish and have researched quite a bit to make sure aggression wouldn't be a problem.

whats the diff between salt and freshwater is salt water harder to maintain?
