My goldies new 'scape

Alasse · 01-04-2011, 08:11 AM

The goldies have moved into their new home and are absolutely loving swimming around and exploring!

Looks great Alasse. I would never have thought to use artifical ferns in a tank. Are they plastic or the silk ones. It's hard to tell as they look real.

OOOhhhhh pretteh!I like the ferns,they look very nice and i bet the fish love to swim in and hide in them.

jrman83 · 01-04-2011, 02:09 PM

Nice.

Alasse · 01-04-2011, 04:41 PM

Thanx guys

Susan - The ferns are made for tank use, they are silk and they were rather pricey (AU$41 each), but they are quite big, this tank is 18inx18inch and just fit (ideally should be in a 20inx20in to show full potential) My LFS has a full range of new silk plants in and they are exceptional quality, they really look real. I will be investing in some other one over time, i just love them!

Thanks I need to see if any of our lfs carry them. They would look good in my mbipia tank.

Alasse · 01-04-2011, 04:48 PM

I'm hoping to get together a collection, i want to try a heavily 'planted' tank to see how it looks *L*

susankat · 01-04-2011, 04:52 PM

That would be cool. and a lot less work.

Beautiful!! So natural looking, those ferns rock!!

pinkice · 01-05-2011, 07:25 PM

That is a beautiful tank!!

It's nice to see goldfish being shown off, not just in a sad little tank. I'm not a fan of plastic plants but yours work.
