Default new tank setup

after visting the ADG showroom, i got inspired to change the setup in my goldfish tank. there are no live plants in this setup. it's amazing how some of ADG's aquarium setups look so natural even without live plants. so i decided to change the entire landscaping. what do you think of this layout? it's a 20 gallon long, but i tried to use the entire space without overcrowding the goldies.

Looks great! The only thing I would do is take a few of the smaller flat rocks (in the middle) out.

Nice tank! I like how natural it looks. How did you get your two fish to pose like that?

I used to try to keep plants in my goldfish tank...only to be a salad bar. But that was probably since they were common goldfish.

Anyways, keep up the good work!

It is very nice.

i am glad that your "no live" plants are hold down by the rocks. I had plants with goldfish before and they always got "pull" out of the substrate by the fish.
