Default My Wife's new Balloon Molly tank (yeah I know its fw)

She insisted that I had to set her up her own balloon molly tank so I did Anything to keep her interested in this addiction.

Beautiful tank.

Just add a tablespoon of salt everytime you walk by. In a month, you will have converted your wife's molly tank to salt. The mollies would do great, but not sure about the plants....

wow, I never knew you could put the lucky bamboo in a FW tank! I always thought it would be bad for the tank for some reason

anyways, good looking tank!

The Balloon Molly tank is a 25g tall. 24" long, 12" wide & 20" tall. The Lucky Bamboo will do great in fw tanks (even slightly brackish like this one) as long as the leaves are above water. Their root systems become bright orange & they grow very well, which I assume makes them good nutrient exporters. Best of all, I think it looks cool to have them in a tank where the little fish & shrimp can use them for homes & such. I don't know if they bring luck (unless having my wife "ask" me to set up 2 more tanks in the house for her is considered good luck ) but it looks good to me

Hey Anthony

Your living room looks better than the Vancouver Aquarium.

I will have to come over for a visit.

Anthony, how do you light the tank with the bamboo sticking so far out of the water? Looks really nice. hmm, I wonder if I have room for another tank
