I bought background for the back of my tank. What would be the best way to attach with?

sgould

I just attached mine with tape.

jayfl234

That is what i figured. Thanks

Neville

poppet

Blue background that goes from a dark blue to a light blue and the other side is all black.

Sounds interesting. You could upload a picture so we can ooh and aah.

Personally, not sure if a background is for me. I guess it gives fish 1 side where they are at peace (from prying human eyes anyway) but I figured they maybe feel less claustrophobic without. Go figure.

Funny thing about it i bought it and i dont want to put it on. The tanks looks bigger without it. So i guess i will leave it off.

armadillo

Ah well. It's only cheap, isn't it?

As for me, I'm seriously considering using slightly wrinkled aluminum foil. I've heard that it can look really good, but getting it wrinkled just enough without overdoing it kinda worries me Bummer that your background didn't work for you though

Our MTS has gotten bad enough that we need some paper for the sides of several betta tanks to keep them from seeing each other. We'll just go to the crafts dept. and find some fish-themed scrapbook paper as bettas can find glossy paper something to flare at constantly.

Yeah it is cheap so i am not to worried about it plus when you have all the cords hanging and filters on kind of a pain to move everything thing. Oh well

Was at the LFS today and saw a whole stand of wall papers. Had to think of you! Can't say I wasn't tempted, but naaah, I think I"ll leave it.

My girlfriend's betta puffs up at the filter sometimes...I laugh every time. LOL

One of our Bettas, Aslan, flared so much at his filter box that we had to wrap paper around it to keep him from seeing it.

ha i added the same background to my tank not that long ago too

I've got a light blue backing... I really like it as it gives the tank an aquatic feeling... Or maybe it's just that I don't like seeing all the stuff hanging from the back... Actually I don't even like seeing the stuff in the tank.. You know heater, filter tube, etc...

Muffymouse

yeah to bad there isn't a kind that you can put on the inside of the tank and when it goes behind the tubes and heater etc. makes them look like the color of your background.

we just got scrapbook paper at michaels yesterday for keeping our bettas from seeing each other, nice oceanish paper with fish on it.. i'm thinking of doing the backs in that paper too, so we don't have to see the wires. It looks good and isn't glossy so it isn't going to induce any flaring.
