Misc. Pictures:

Great pics there!!! You have some good looking fish. I would like to see some whole tank pictures of your planted tanks, just to get the whole effect!!

Very nice tanks you have here. I never thought that you can use lucky bamboos in fish tanks. Great idea!

Unlimitedfishboy

that bamboo has been in there for almost a year now and it still looks healthy so it must do ok under water!

I really love your 20G tank the. Do you use coloured lights on that one? The light seems to have a purple tinge to it!! It looks amazing

aww, thank you! well, the lights arent exactly purple but its basically a super white light. Im not sure what its called or anything b/c it just came with the hood of the tank. Its made by All-Glass.

For a year??!! The guy in my local gardencenter told me that the bamboo rots if the body of it remains in the water for too long.

Perhaps I should try that with my twisted lucky bamboo as well!

Unlimitedfishboy

well either me AND my sister have fake bamboo or that guy needs to keep his mouth shut about things he doesnt know! Ya, both my 10 & 20 gallon tank have bamboo and my sister's betta bowl. They do nothing but grow very slow (which i think is how all bamboo seems to grow). They even root into the gravel.

twisted bamboo would look very nice i think!

They grow slow? I currently keep my in a wine bottle with little water, and it grows outrageously fast. It's now already over a meter high and I am still thinking what to do with it. Perhaps I should cut it in half so I will have two!

Unlimitedfishboy

thats pretty big! but yeah you should cut it, its perfectly ok to trim it.

I love the little pot in your 20G - where did you get that? I think I need one!
