Very nice setup. I love the way you've arranged it.

Where'd you get those nice flat slabs of rock?

Actually a company called Cripple Creek in KC. It was really cheap too, i think i may have spent 10 dollars. I went to the bargain bin where they only had a pallet of rock left and picked pieces off. Just bring a couple five gallon buckets to make it easier to haul home.

If you haven't been its definitely worth the trip.

Wow. Nice find, I know exactly where that's at. Thanks.

It's surprisingly hard to find nicely shaped natural rock for the aquarium.

Anytime, you'll have to post what you come back with. I have thought about going up again just to get a few different types to add some different color to the tank.

Look around and get what you want....... But don't forget the bargain section. I think its around half off or more since they are running low on certain types of rocks and don't have enough for bigger projects where they make their money. They clearance the hell out of it to get the last pallet gone.

Thanks for sharing! I really like the rock formation!

--------

Update: I now have a total of 4 tanks. A 55g, 10g, 5g, and now... a 3g.

I had a melting issue w/ my Anacharis in the 5g, so I had to remove them. When I did, my Red Cherry Shrimp had nowhere to hide and my Betta went on a killing spree. He only ate a few, but I figured it was time for his own tank.

I went to Walmart, (), and found a nice setup. It's the Hawkeye AquaView 360 Aquarium, 3gal



It has a multi-color LED light fixture and you can set the colors to stay solid or fade. It's pretty sweet! The only thing I had to buy was a heater, gravel, and ornaments. I figured it was time to deck-out a tank for my son, so I got a few bright artificial plants for the background, along w/ Spongebob, Patrick, and Spongebob's Pineapple house.

Unfortunately, not but a few days after setting up the tank, my other Betta, (in the 10g), passed. So now I have a tank w/ no fish. What to do, what to do...

Thank you, I've had the tank since November. It's been fun watching the fish grow, but I'm ready for them to be full grown.

Does anyone know where you can pick up cherry shrimp in KC? I've got a buddy who has a planted tank and has always wanted some but could never find them locally.

I just get mine on aquabid.com.

That's where I get most of my fish, actually.

Well i was going to be a good friend and swing by and pick up a half dozen(since I'm off work the next few days). I've had great success online with buying fish but i don't think I'm that good of a friend to order them online.

I've poked around aquabid.com its just hard for me to justify shipping on 12 or less cherry shrimp.

The only thing I know to do locally would be to go to a place like the Pet Stop in Shawnee and ask them if they can order some for you. They are willing to do that, but it will take a while for them to come in.
