New Tank

Thanks Shrimper yeah the shrimpies love moss.
Thanks TylerF, sorry for the answer delay, the forum was down, no I dont use any ferts, but it is very low light one watt per gallon, there is some hair algae since turning off the Co2 but not much and the shrimp keep it in check.

For shrimp fans a cherry a few days old when they are born the tail has what look like little hairs on the end of it they loose them after a few days maybe after they molt. Its very macro, the shrimp
is on willow moss.

you are amazing at taking photos. it looks like its under a microscope! I am considering a moss tank for my shrimp now!
 
I followed a link to this thread from the UKAPS forum because it was an example of a how a moss tank can look and it certainly is a good un :) It's a beautiful tank, you should be proud of it.

I too had a lace leaf plant that flowered and pretty much took over the tank. When the leaves started getting over 3 feet long I took it out! and it was still getting bigger. It was hard to take out because they are just so damn beautiful. The leaves are really tough as well, not as delicate as they look.
 
Would love to see more moss and shrimpy pics too :D :D
 
Hi Arron, thanks for the interest, I just saw your post today, the tank is much the same, I have taken out most of the ferns as they had grown too big. It is mostly flame, peacock and erect moss now. I will get a photo of the tank.

Hi iSnail, some shrimpies, its mostly crs now I keep taking out the cherries and added a few higher grades to add a bit of variety and some new genes. I am growing the fissidens to cover more of the floor, it’s a slow grower perfect for me.

So beautiful :wub:

*sigh* why do these lovely CRS have to be so delicate to keep :X

Is that Fissiden Fontanus in the picture? It looks beautiful :good:
 
Yeah Aarron they shrimp are doing well,

Thanks iSnail the CRS are fussy about their water but once that is to their liking they do fine. I tried some in our hard water but they dont do well even if they survive and breed for a few months. Yeah its F fontanus, it is a beautiful little plant, I am making an effort to get some light to it now to get it to grow a bit faster.

Thank you Goodygumdrops :)
 
How did you plant the fissidens to get the carpet effect on the substrate?I must admit,I think I've only ever seen this planted on wood and you're giving me ideas!
 
The fissidens is attached to small bits of wood and has grown over it. The wood gives varied height, I guess bits of slate or flat stones would work too.
Wolfwolf thanks, the pics are taken with a dslr canon D400.
