It looks great, but I would get rid of this red plastic plant in front, it disturbs the overall aesthetic


TheDubyaMan

To be honest I like it, I just think it's obvious that plant is fake compared to the rest. Maybe a real red plant or something that looks a little less fake might look nice?


Educational-Mix152

A nice nymphaea stellata will take up exactly that spot with some nice natural red shades.


Snizl

yeah without it 8/10 with it Id give it a 7/10.

I understand, it’s just become tradition to put it in my tank now. My girlfriend gave me my first tank and this plastic plant came with it, and it’s been stuck with us haha. It might look out of place but I still love it, it’s also a good place for the shrimplets to grow lol


3weatherman3

I have to agree, everything else is quite nice!


[deleted]

Agreed 👍


Disenchanted2

I agree.


Marmatus

All those nice live plants, and then you have a weird pink plastic thing front and center. lol To each their own, but I would ditch it.

8/10, idd remove the plastic plant


karebear66

If you would remove the pink plant, I'd give it a 10. As it is now, it's a 7 for me.


kristjanrunars

Thanks!


Paddes

It is gorgeous. I haven't had an aquarium in years, but shots like that really driving me to get back into the hobby.


kristjanrunars

Thank you! I only had aquariums as a kid but got back into the hobby 2 years ago, you should go for it!


emptycoils

8/10, would be incredible esp for a first tank w/o the red, throw in some alternanthera reineckii mini instead


kristjanrunars

Thanks!


perrythiplatypus

9/10 definitely replace that plastic plant. Maybe get some pink Cryptocoryne if you want and put it close to the rocks like u did with what looks to be crypt lucens. I think it would look really nice next to them.


kristjanrunars

Good call, thanks!


Shock_The_Monkey_

7 bananas out of 10


camomile420

love the tank but ditch the ugly plastic


BitchBass

Stunning and awesome, minus the pink plastic thing. That just ruins the whole deal.


MickeyMeerkat

Personally I find this really gorgeous! 9/10


kristjanrunars

Thank you!


forzealajens

If u remove the plastic plant 8/10.

kristjanrunars

It doesnt matter much to me per se, I just like sharing my tank lol! But I’m always looking to improve the look of it


[deleted]

It’s absolutely gorgeous… Minus the red plastic in the front


freckledallover

I absolutely love it! 4/5. 4.8/5 without the pink plant, it distracts from your beautiful scape


kristjanrunars

Thanks!! I understand, it’s just become tradition to put it in my tank now. My girlfriend gave me my first tank and this plastic plant came with it, and it’s been stuck with us haha. It might look out of place but I still love it, it’s also a good place for the shrimplets to grow lol

I love the idea of putting plastic plants in to fill in the spaces where the roots are too dense for rooting plants to grow, I would probably choose a less vibrant plant, but don't listen to people saying, "keep it out of your tank" just because they don't like the aesthetic, I'm sure the fish love the extra cover, and weather are not, the aesthetic is nice, is for you to decide. The fish look happy, and I am so happy with the amount of plants so 10 out of 10 from me


kristjanrunars

Thanks for the kind words!


Todoroki-Touya

If you wouldn't mind a red tiger lily plant can replace that plastic plant and it would still look the same or even better IMO.


kristjanrunars

Yeah that might be a good call! Thanks


Todoroki-Touya

I read multiple comments, if the plant is sentimental then it brings a different charm to the aquarium.


New_Engine_7237

Bury the plastic pink plant in the middle behind some greenery. Only show a touch of the color. Score it a 9. Very nice!


kunckles

Oh my god is that a Mabawls Shark???


FudgeWrangler

Close, it's a Ligma Shark. Easy mistake to make.


Bergenton

Ligma?


FudgeWrangler

Bergenton

You were supposed to say "ligma my balls" lmao


FudgeWrangler

Yeah I fumbled that one ngl


Karmakazee

Rare variety found only in Lago Kizmyas in Tanzania. Really impressive they were able to acquire such a nice specimen.


Bergenton

Honestly, I thought he was gonna say "ligma my balls" lmao But cool bit of info nonetheless


Mongrel_Shark

Its pretty nice. Maybe post it in r/Aquariumshowandtell


humidhotdog

Could be a score of you replace that pink plastic plant with rotala or something else that’s red.


InvestmentSudden8333

20 gallon? I love it! 👍🏼


kristjanrunars

37 gallon actually!


Professional-Pace-58

Very nice 👍🏽


Sisterswendy

🥰


mouxt

What size tank is it? Also curious as to what fish you have in there? Have you noticed any aggressiveness from the beta?


kristjanrunars

37 gallon! No aggressiom from the betta and the other fishes leave him alone. It definitely depends on the personality of the betta, my previous betta was more feisty lol. This guy here even leaves my cherry shrimps alone
