	Quick Question
CeltGirl Enthusiast Posts: 170 Votes: 0 Registered: 08-May-2004	Can an aquarium work well without any live plants? I'm wanting to create a sort of Hippie-esque, psychedelic themed tank in a ten gallon with either some female bettas or some guppies with neon gravel and caves with bright plastic plants. Would it be detrimental to my fish and water quality to leave out live plants, or would it work? Thanks!

Good luck on your design! And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
