I was thinking about trying it at one point, but for the reasons Avery stated, I never did. Getting new equipment wasn’t convenient at the time, and later I just forgot about the idea/lost interest.

I really don't like the look of fake plants; I feel like it makes the entire aquarium look cheesy. Plus, the plants to me can be as interesting as the fish and invertebrates sometimes.

That is a really cool idea! I never thought of that before, but why not? Just like a regular garden/selection of houseplants, but in water.

I gave up on this a while back, but I am wondering, did they ever start getting stocked?

I always had good experiences with apple snails.

Snails and shrimp are both awesome!

I have had a few before, and they are cool.

I picked most of my early fish based on their looks in the store. Later, I'd add fish that I was researching online and found interesting.

Yes, I was using fishing line once instead of silicone to hold something together, and a fish got caught in it. I managed to get it free without any consequences, but after that I never used fishing line again.

Usually I get the centrepiece fish, not the schools, but now and again I get the school fish.

I like snails for this.

No, I don't get the appeal of buying one. I mean, I don't have the budget for that kind of thing. But if I did, maybe I would find the idea more compelling. I don't know.

I signed it! I hope this petition gets around. I'd love to see something like this with thousands of signatures.

I have rocks and shells mostly. And some aquatic plants.

I like the interactions in a community tank best!

Mine is 5 gallons, which is just right for my apartment.

I don't know, that is a hard question. What did you do? Did you get one?

The bigger the better when you are a newbie.

I have tannins in my tank but in terms of pure aesthetics I think I like the clear look better.

Just play around with it and find out what looks good to you?
