fish tank picture - stump and brick came from the river. My wife was kind enough to drag this one home for me. Turned out beautiful in the tank. Found the brick while out fishing shallows in the kayak. Tossed it in the milk crate and brought it home. This tank has nothing but marbled crayfish now.

120 gallons freshwater fish tank (mostly fish and non-living decorations) - 120 gallon native tank. Everything in this tank came from my river. The large canopy is for my aqauponic system. The water from the tank is filtered thru the grow beds cleaning the water and feeding my plants.

More Info

State: Texas

Country: United States

Description: Everything in my tank is from my river here in Texas. Driftwood, substrate, rocks. Even the bricks and the old Garcia reel. My fish assortment changes all the time. I built the base and the canopy. My canopy is huge since I grew plants in it.(aqauponics!) this is one of three tanks I have.

Advice: Have fun.

Fish Kept: Longear Sunfish, Featherfin Catfish, Kenyi Cichlid, Auratus Cichlid

Corals/Plants: Every once in a while I'll pull up some river water plants and put them in my tanks. They flourish and look beautiful. When I get sick of em I pull them up. If I want more I go back to the river

Tank Size: 120 gallons

About Yourself: I'm a river rat. I spend a lot of time kayaking and fishing. Try to make my aquariums look like what I think below the surface looks like. Love native fish in aquariums.
