    Hi everyone, not too sure if this is the right place to start this thread as this is not a planted tank. Have a 2ft tank (as shown) setup & thinking what species of fish would you have if you have a setup like this. I know the choices are pretty limited as the tank is too small for altums & discus.

    Currently have a small school of cardinal tetras in it but hope to have a main attraction to it. Please feel free to share your thoughts!

    The possibility is endless on what we can create

    maybe more wood to form the background..overlocking underwater branches..abit of mosses on the thicker "trunk"? just a splash of green here and there...
    The role of master and servant begin to cloud in the water..

    are you planning to add some plants? try to place the wood so that it is not in the straight line.

    Your tank looks like a potential for a blckwater tank. Just wood and dead leaves on the bottom. Can keep sparkling/croaking gouramis and harlequins, these are native to blackwater tanks.

    The downside is the water constantly brown as its blackwater...d-uh... =)

    I like the way the driftwood is placed in the tank as they look like the root underneath Amazon river. Add moss and ketapang leaves to give a more natural looking tank. I'm sure your tetra will like it. Go youtube and search for 'Deep Root Amazon Theme' and you'll know what I mean.

    A pair of apistos or rams to brighten it? Or a small pleco or whiptail, some corydoras? You could also add deep bodied tetras like Sepae or Phantoms.
    The wood 'planting' is too neat. Have them irregularly spaced and leaning to one side.
