    so i got my tank on way and a filter for the tank
    its a 5 gallon tank
    now for decor i know they like things to hitch on but i was thinking, how about i get a red mangrove plant to put in there, it you think it might get to big for the 5 gallon tank and not allow room for the live rock and sand,

    really im just looking for suggestions on decor i have a few things in mind
    like
    9 Pcs Aquarium Plastic Plants Ornament Decoration New | eBay
    or
    2 Pcs Decorative Blue Aquarium Ornament Plastic Coral | eBay
    stuff along those lines things i can attach to live rock or put in the sand
    any and all recommendation are welcomed.

    first piece, NO, too many parts are too big and you won't be able to see them, the second piece I have and it works good, prob is dwarf seahorse change colors, and most mine look like that color and thus blend in. Its a good size reference though, I have enough leftover of that and the pink version though, If you want you can have it for shipping costs, should only be a few $$s

    but do you think a mangrove might be to much?
    i think it would be interesting to see them in a small tank with mangroves roots in it.

    I'll let ya know shipping costs, do you want the black sand too, and the rock rubble???

    here's the only issue I see with the mangrove, is that you need the tank to be really free of any bad hitchhikers, and ya need to clean the tank a little more often and once a mangrove takes root, that may become a problem.
