Please post pictures of your tank!!

Just be careful of paint on the dinosaur, My goldfish have a playschool diver in their tank lol.

I know someone on here has a storm trooper in the corner and aimed to have a deathstar hide :p

You should be fine aslong as it has no metal components and try finding one that is coloured by the plastic and not painted :)

Ooh awesome idea! I've been scouring the internet for plastic dinosaur toys. This is the sort of person you turn into if you stay at university too long. I've seen the stormtrooper, it's amazing! :)
 
I've got a few playmobil dinos in one of my tanks, some don't sink, others do :) I have a croc in there too which has been chucked onto its back at the mo! But I've had no issues with them, I had a duplo hide I made but it was difficult to put together in the water again after cleaning so I gave up with it in the end lol
 
these tanks are in perfect condition. did you guys JUST set them up and take pictures? algae always seemed to get the better of my tanks.
 
I wish i could afford a fancy elaborate tank my axolotl just has his nessecitys. Sand, Rocks, Hiding place:eek:

Here's one of my tank about a week ago, the only change is now I have some riccia moss coming out of the ice cream tub hide.. and I also have a breeding net in there waiting for my eggies to hatch! Yay! :)

Kitties: black and white is my 'Merlin' (who was Molly until we found out he was male)
and the grey one is my bf's girl called 'Cricket'. :)

I swapped everyone about yesterday so redid the tanks a bit.
The first one is Milco's paradise at the moment, once s/he has caught up to Xochi in size, Xochi will be back in there :)
The second is Xochi's temporary tank to slow his/her growth rate a bit. Seems happy enough for now though, close enough to permanently give me the eyes :p
The third is Scylla's temporary tank. She's been kicked out of the 4ft she had all to herself and has been put back in her original 2ft until I can buy/make a tank divider :)

So who is in the 4ft?

How big are those tanks, Star, they look so tiny.

Out of interest, is there actually (non-anecdotal) evidence that axolotls growth is affected by their tank size?
 
Got my 2 leucies in the 4ft at the moment. Adding Scylla once I have a divider since she munched their legs off last time. I am hopefully swapping a viv I don't use for another 4ft tank soon so be moving monsters about again :)
The first tank is 2ft x 1ft x 1.5ft, the second is 16.5" x 7.5" x7.5" and the third is 2ft x 1ft x 1.5ft
I haven't found any evidence yet, I did make a thread asking about it but had no conclusive answers. I've noticed mine tend to grow quicker in a larger tank, well, 3 out of 5 so far have but I'm not sure if a smaller tank than they are used to will slow the growth rate. Xochi isn't cramped though considering s/he is only 5" at the moment :)
 
Here's my tank, I'm not completely satisfied with the setup though, I think I want to add more plants or hides to it so any suggestions would be great :)

Tank looks nice!
Gave me a few ideas...
 
All of your tanks are so pretty! You have very lucky pets. I love this forum, it makes me realise there are people who love their animals and give them lives they deserve. Especially "fish"...anything that lives in a fish tank people seem to regard as a decoration and not an animal that needs proper care. Great work, they look fantastic

Hi all, I'm new to the forum - here's my current setup, hoping the bump might encourage more people to put pics up, I love looking at all the different tank setups :)

this thread makes me excited to get my new, bigger tank. so many ideas!
 
Here's mine from start to present! 25 gallon (tall) with a sponge filter. I just finished this a half hour ago. Marty, the goldfish, is just in there to reassure me that the water quality is on par (not that I haven't tested it obsessively every time I move something...). He'll move back to his tank when I take Snuffles out of the fridge tomorrow :D

now I need to set up the quarantine tank for Pickle... I love aquascaping!

Edit: the fourth one with no pebbles is the current arrangement (just in case that wasn't obvious)

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.
