Amazing what a few plastic plants and a few fish can do. Too bad my turtles are too big, they move things around too easily, and there's hardly any space in my tank as it is.

Cleaning takes a lot longer though?
My favourite picture is the second one, looks like he/she's smiling.

The fish don't bother the turtles. At first the turtles chased the fish all over the place. But now they've given up. I have plenty of plants so it's pretty easy for the fish to stay away from the turtles.

Cleaning takes a lot longer though?

It does take a little longer, I have to take all the decorations out, clean, and then replace them all. But I'd say it's worth it. They make the tank look more natural, and the turtles love exploring and palying in them.

It's a 55 Gallon. I figure it's big enough for a little while. By the time they need a new one hopefully I'll have my own house, so I can build them an indoor pond. That's my plan anyway.
