Sulawesi inspired pico tank

i have this glass square vase that i have been thinking of turning it into a planted tank. I was searching the internet last night for sulawesi shrimp and found this photo....

it gave me the inspiration to make this pico tank...here is what i came up with so far

 

Hey...nice books Oh, the tank is cool too Is there no filter on it?

 

yeah no filter...the thing is only about half a liter so i wont have any live stock in there....just plants

 

you could put a shirmp in there! Maybe....dare i say it............... a neon tetra!

 

cool!
this is my rock pile inspired tank http://www.kingsnake.org/Photos/Photos3/% Rock pile San Berdo's.JPG

jkjk love your stuff

 

here is a close up of the scape...

 

That's very cool looking!

 

Hmmmm That gives me ideas, I think I need to do a pico myself, maybe not 1/2 litre, but a gallon or so would be cool, with maybe some bee shrimp and a few galaxy rasboras. I have an old empy empty Elclipse 3 laying around, thanks for the very cool inspiration. Looks great BTW.

 

wouldnt the shrimp climb out?

 

Thanks I love the galaxy rasboras although i am partial to the rasbora hets! either way it should make for an interesting tank and id love to see the outcome! The one thing i will say is that i found it much more difficult to scape such a small area while still giving the feeling of depth and proportion. I have an even smaller tank that i am working on that is 4"x4"x4" that i plan to use Pellia and Fissidens fontanus to create the feel of stem plants. Ill keep you posted on that hahah!
