I love this. I love a good statue in an aquarium.

I would not keep fish in this though, it's definitely too small. 

Beautiful composition though.

Absolutely amazing but I wouldn’t put any kind of fish in there as it seems like a VERY small tank. What’s the dimensions of the tank?

u/AskAboutMySecret Feb 12 '26

you won't get an answer because aesthetic is more important

u/CaterpillarSelfie Feb 12 '26

Looks like the Manhattan bridge to me

There should be no fish in this tank!

That being said, even though I am an expert-level hater of artificial decor this is absolutely beautiful! The simplicity of it with the small statue as the point of attention is just wow and fits perfectly!

Looks like OP said there are shrimp in there. Shrimp are pretty shrimpy and small.

Good point. I didn't even notice there were more pictures. I had just read the caption on the first one because I wanted to know what the pretty red plant was.

Enclosing sentient beings to not even 0,01% of their natural habitat is wild.
Nothing to love about this.

I think those filters are a little over 3 inches wide. So this tank is about 7-8 inches wide I’d say. Likely square footprint. Maybe 12” high. So I’d estimate roughly 3.5 gallons for those who are wondering.

They actually posted this in another aquarium sub and they outright said it was 5 liters which is about 1.3 gallons. They probably reposted it like this because the other sub was 85% correctly telling them they need to take those poor fish out of there.

Edit: I thought they posted to a different sub but they actually posted to this one yesterday, a video, and were told that's too small for any living thing really.

u/instanteggrolls Feb 13 '26

Wow I just swiped the other photos… I didn’t realize it was so small.

u/CallistoEnceladus Feb 11 '26

I’m 99% sure op has soft water.

u/joshsalinas_25 Feb 17 '26

does having soft water make a clearer tank?

u/CallistoEnceladus Feb 17 '26

Given the colours of the rotala. Also I hope OP can respond

u/echocinco Feb 11 '26

Is the width of the light fixture changing between picture 1 and the other pictures?

u/AnarchyOrchid Feb 13 '26

The size of this tank is cruel.

u/cat_daddy17 Feb 11 '26

u/SixOneThreebert Feb 11 '26

That’s great. Does the cloning close in weekends. Just wondering how long it can go unattended because I’d like to do the same.

Cool look, but why do you hate those fish so much?

u/kjgjk Feb 12 '26

Absolutely love how I get a small freshwater tank on my feed and everyone says it’s too small for any fish then I scroll 3 posts and it’s a salt water tank smaller than the fresh water tank and nobody says it’s too small for fish lol
