I’ve seen too many people say they are scared or worried that people are going to attack them for how their fish tank looks. This is incredibly sad and with everything else going on today I want to be more positive and start a chain of people reblogging their fish tanks. I’m going to go first with Cassius’s fish tank:

Now everyone please reblog this with a picture of your set up and please don’t be ashamed of it! (if you are still nervous sumbit it to me and I’ll rate it!)

Heres my current (extremly bare) WIP. Im gonna go get a bunch of hornwart tomorrow and tangle this tank up some, but when all that java fern grows in its gonna be wonderful

here are sneaky and taako’s tanks!!

Here’s Lumi’s “meh” tank.

I have killed so many plants

Fish don’t care about colors or designs. They need places to hide, so if there isn’t much cover you should add something temporary like a flowerpot or a mug, but they don’t care otherwise. You could decorate a tank entirely in hot pink princess-style decor with rainbow gravel, and the fish inside wouldn’t care. 

Darker colors, especially darker substrate, are good because they can bring out more intense colors in your fish. Pure white wouldn’t be great, it would reflect light all over the place and stress your fish. Some fish are light-sensitive and need plenty of shade, and some need more hiding places than others. Those are the only way that appearance matters in a fish tank. 

That goes for just about all small animal habitats. If it contains proper cover and enrichment, they don’t care.
