Tropical Fish Tank

Hi is it possible to have a tank set up with no gravel but just ornaments and fish

Our fish like to dig in the gravel.

Some even pick (yes pick) individual stones to make their nest.

I bought a tank a week ago put gravel, heater and filter and switched on. The following morning it was leaking so am reluctant to put gravel in the replacement and set up again and can see what is going on underneath

Sinc you have to have the tank running with no fish for a while, add the gravel later when your convinced its not leaking.

(Remember to add the gravel gently - don't just tip it all in at once!)
