Let's See Your Christmas 2022 Trees/Decorations

[DarkSaber86]

Hey y'all! Been a hot minute since I've posted. It's now the Christmas season. I wanted to know, is there anyway I can decorate my aquarium for Christmas? Like is there any fun little Christmas trees I can put in there or some other kind of fun Christmas stuff to put in? I tried looking up on Amazon but they don't really have much, surprisingly. Have any of you had any fun with spicing up your aquarium for the holidays?

Hi
I love to decorate to for the holidays. I stick to the outside of the tank.
Those window decal that peel off and usually garland or silk poinsettias (because real ones are poisonous to cats) either around the bottoms of the outside of the tank or draped across the top.

Edit:
Looks like chewys has some on their site.

I would change the tank background if possible. or drape the tank or put deco on top, I still have spookyy town houses on my tank from halloween.

I know some chain fish stores (like petco and petsmart) will sell seasonal decorations... I just got over covid so I haven't seen if they have any christmas stuff this year

Add some christmas moss to your tank.

Hmmm personally I don't decorate my tanks fro Christmas but I saw a post about my LFS selling (I think they are live plant, like moss or something) small wreaths for the insides of tanks, so maybe you could find a place that does that or make one yourself.

I myself wouldn't put Christmas decorations in the tank. If I would have the urge to decorate, I'd decorate the tank on the outside.

Nothing out of hand. LOL

I won't be decorating mine, but I thought the Christmas moss was a good idea!

 

[briangcc1997]

Petsmart lists some (do a search on aquarium decor or what they call Merry & Bright).

I generally don't decorate for the holidays inside the tank.

Nope won’t be decorating my tanks. Bah humbug!
But my wife will decorate the room.

It's that time again!!! Some of us are in need of some Christmas cheer, so let's see those trees and decorations. From Charlie Brown trees to spectacular works of art, post a pic of your tree and inspire us all!!

Here's a pic of my poor ole' Charlie Brown tree. I have to fill holes with ornaments and tinsel! Might be the last year with this one, lol!!!

No tree, just a shot I set up once.

This years arch .. the trees struggling though as the dogs had it over a few times !!

 

[aquanata]

Stuffed between the cupboard & the tanks we just moved front & centre, forgetting we'd need christmas tree space. The kids were excited to decorate the pop up, already strung christmas tree anyway & only dropped a few ornaments into the tank. Thank goodness there was no glitter involved! Merry Christmas Rose of Sharon et al!

 

[86 ssinit]

This years tree!!

 

[StarGirl]

All done. Moved it to the living room after I took the pic.

 

[Dunk2]

Words, words, words.

 

[Debbie1986]

2 smaller trees

I was not in the mood to try & fit my 6 foot tree somewhere, lol

Our little artificial tree we have had for all the time we have been together (22 years). It has on it decorations from both of our families and some of the decorations were made by our grandparents. I think Christmas is a time to remember family that have passed as well as those that are with us.

 

[John58ford]

I'll play, although this looks allot like it did last year.


This is the easiest room to keep the dogs out of; we put the gate up whenever we have toddlers visit, or for Christmas.

Late addition: the twilight tank lights on.

 

[Marlene327]

We have our usual tree in the living room which hasn't changed in 3 years, and will be getting a re-do next year. However I went to a craft show and won a flocked (artificial) tree in a drawing. So we put it into our sunroom, which we have family parties in. I decorate that room exclusively in Christmas gnomes. Soooo, here's what I did to that tree, and there's our 7 grandkids at our party last night!

 

[Motherlovebetta]

A rare shot of the kitten not IN the tree! Yes, they are spoiled.

 

[Marlene327]

I did a search for some ideas and found this from last year... got some ideas now!

My fish room ends up being the Christmas tree inclusive room that time of year. One year the boys put window clings on them, I was kinda ok with that. We hung the socks from a tank rack one year, that was too far. I usually let the Christmas stuff take over a bookshelf, we'll see this year.

If you do the "set it up from tubs of stored scavenged mosses and plants for an Instagram picture before it turns brown" type aquascape it probably would actually be really cool to see a fully done Christmas scene like the one that was CGI on that Amazon link up there ... I just grow my plants and fish the old fashioned slow way though so for me to do a "Christmas tank" I would have had to layout, plant, and scape it last new years for it to look close to right this Christmas. (When this thread was fresh lol)

I'm tempted to order a background for at least my 40 gallon, not sure on that yet. I might do like your boys and somehow add some clings to it, if I find some that aren't too cheesy! My 10 gallon tanks with shrimp have total algae on the back wall for them; only a good piece of black poster board makes that look better! Maybe stick some garland over the tops!
Starting my decorating this week already, every room will have something, having a large family party Dec.16. My son and his wife are doing Thanksgiving, so no one will be in our house til the reveal!
