Necturus Setup

[sean]

Here is my recently completed setup for Necturus Maculosus. Although now I am unsure of the legality of me keeping one. Now I am considering a Greater Siren,Amphiuma, or maybe even Axolotls. I have never kept any of these so I dont know what my best bet would be. BTW this setup is a 55gal with 2 30-60 filters and live plants. I made a cave structure out of the large rocks and all of the gravel bed is rocks collected from a mountain stream in Tennessee.I have had this tank setup for about 2 weeks and I gaze at it at least once everyday even though nothing lives in it. It reminds me of the mountain streams that I love so much. The only further plans I have for it is more plants.Anybody have opinions on what would be the best species to live in the tank? Also, Anybody know a source for Sirens?+++ jpeg +++ 44238 +++ +++

HEY! i seen that root tree thingy at petsmart today haha. but on the other hand i am really inspired about this tank. what kind of plants are those from left to right. that one in the back looks like moss or fern

[sean]

Java moss,java fern,and cryptocorne. They are real and I have added some more(sword,unknown) plants to cover the background and intakes.Thanks for the complements.Both roots are from petsmwrt BTW and the rocks are from Tennessee Mountains.
