Default is my tank lame?





Does anyone think my tank is lame? It looks so unnatural.

You're off to a great start! Add more plants! Fish LOVE plants! Go live if you can. If it's not at all possible, then fake. Put in a few more caves, fish also like caves. You could even try putting a background on it to give it a more full and finished look. One of the ones you just stick on the outside backside.

It's not lame at all! Tanks are kinda' like slow art... you add some here and there... they are never quite finished.

Well, I'd go with a good 3D background, more plants, and eliminate the no fishing sign.
But then it would be "my" tank, not "your" tank.

Like someone said, "If you like it" then that's what matters.
Do YOU think its lame? If so, we will happily give you suggestions and ideas for changing things up.

It's got a good style, just not my personal preference. I'm more about natural-looking stuff like brown dirt and dirty sand, driftwood, live plants, slate and lava lace rock, etc.

Looks cool though.
