Freshwater tanks are great!

I decided to put my empty Eclipse 12 to use so I set up a freshwater tank on the minibar counter. It turned out pretty nice. I used the lights, filter, heater, and thermometer from the previouse set-up. All I needed was a piece of driftwood, 2 bags of gravel, and a few fake plants. If you buy the right kind of fake plants (I got marine land) it turns out pretty nice. Today I picked up three neon tetras. They seem happy.
So if you have an extra 10 gallon laying around and need something nice for pretty cheap you should look into freshwater.

I also plan on adding a few more fish and some kind of background.
Here are the three tetras.

Or u can let the fish live and not set up a fresheater tank. For heavens sake, no more fish 4 u, u fish killing machine!

Huh? I use this under the hood filteration thing that came with the tank. It has carbon and a biowheel. The Eclipse tanks are great. There good looking and come with everything but a heater. You can't see the lights or the filter because it is under the hood. The Eclipse 6 gallon is 52 dollars and Im guess around another 50 for evrything else.

That looks good YAE4Volcom
Cartman, freshwater tanks are relatively easy to take care of. That sounds like a pretty good deal at petsmart. But you may want to get a small heater. Just make sure that the temprature stays relatively the same, but if you have slight change, you dont really need to worry. :happy: As for fish, you could probably have around 5 maybe 6 fish in the 5-gallon if they were relatively small.

Picture or like just a color background? If a picture background use a freshwater theme for a color...:thinking:
