My axolotl tank.

[Crysta]

This is moomin's tank atm. I'd appreciate any advice on making it more aesthetically pleasing
Particularly regarding the plastic terrarium plant I'm using to reduce filter flow (Is their anything a little less - ugly)
And perhaps some practical suggestions?

I'd like to get some nice aquascaping going on in there.
also, here is my Moomin

I think it looks great but I dont see a dark hide. He may want to escape the light more.

Try build a spray bar to cover the filter outlet. Make it with a piece of plastic tubing and tie it to the back of your tank, drill small holes in the plastic along the tubing so the water can come out. Works a treat. If you need any more details on that, send me a PM.

Your tank looks great by the way, and as AJ stated, he probably needs a darker side too.

About the hide, it's actually pitch black in the back right corner - I have a light shining from the top and sides of the plant so I can actually take a photo, I never have the lights on at any other time. I'm planning on getting some floating plants which should provide some more escaping ^^

I've actually got a spray bar from a 50Gal filter, do you think If I cut it in half, used that - it'd be ok?

thanks guys - i'll look into getting something with more of a roof.

you could try a backing, i don't mean those cheesy photos that stick on the outside but an internal 3D one.

They can add a certain something.

I use one on my black tank here:http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-be...lack-sand-black-background-white-axolotl.html

You can get all sorts though, a root system one would look good in there though.

If you have a spray bar that you won't need again then you could certainly resize it and use it. Or, as previously stated. Airline or other tubing you have around will work as well. :happy:

@Daz that's a great idea! If I got a nice dark one it'd prevent any light reflecting back into the tank aswell =D

You can see around the tank a little more on a video I made

I'm going to get started on a make shift spray bar right away, tons of airline lying around XD.

I'll update with pics, when I get things sorted on it =]

Heh.... that's great. My guys follow everything around. He doesn't seem to like wax worms much.

 

[Crysta]

Niether of mine do, but I can give moomin a wax worm every week and a half or so. As long as it looks like it's wiggling anyway xD
