10 Gallon Endler & Shrimp Tank

[Ch4rlie]

awesome very lovely

i do like amano's but i prefer smaller shrimp

amano's just look creep being so big

haha

 
Yes, I saw some very large amanos in another tank, with berried females, they were 4 or 5 times the size of amanos I got, these were about 2 or 3 inches, maybe slightly larger. 
 
I liked them though

They are so cute! I thought the endler was actually in the bag until I read what you wrote I hope they do well.

This is so amazing !
I've just upgraded from a 15gal - 60ltrs, I had a 75w heater in it and it would over heat it. So just watch out for that.
My heater was set to 20℃ and it would heat it up to 24℃
I now habe it in my 125 ltr and Uta keeping the Temperature Level

Thank you
 
Yes, some heaters may well do overheat water if its over capacity for smaller tanks, I found out this for myself with a smaller 5 gal tank and had a 50w heater in that at was set at minimum 20C and yet temp was around 27 - 28C. Changed it for a 25w heater, much better and more consistent.
 
This particular 100w heater in the 10 gal is good and I have 2 thermometers in the tank, one digital and one glass one, at opposite ends of the tank, both thermometers shows just under 24C and has been like this for 5 months or so
 
A good tip and good advice

Thermometers are always a must have

Which reminds me I need to get new batteries for my digital

Can't wait to see more from this

I enjoyed reading this! Makes me miss my 10gl I had in Ohio. It started out with RCS and assassins, then I added Endler's and pygmy corys. IT was such a fun little tank for the office.

lol
 
Yes, it IS a fun little tank that requires very little effort really due to this being a low tech set up.
 
Water changes are a doddle on such a small tank

Update time, my 10 gal tank now has a neighbour!
 
I bought a new 100 litre / 25 gal tank (36" x 12" x 15") and is next to this tank in corner of lounge 

 
Not set up yet, had to go into a bit of trouble to create the space and cabinet for this tank, well worth it i think....
 

 
So maybe a new journal is going to have to be made for this

 
No idea what gonna put in it yet, don't even have the filter or lights yet for this tank.....

 

[Mamashack]

Only just found this thread! Have really enjoyed reading your journal, Charlie!

 

[Ch4rlie]

Thank you Mamashack, always real nice to hear complimentary comments

 

[TallTree01]

Looks great Charlie! Looking forward to your well detailed and picture heavy twenty five gallon journal. And don't forget the well detailedness and picture heaviness either.

 

[Ninjouzata]

Yay! That's so exciting. Can't wait to see some updates on the new tank. I'm sure your 10g is much happier now with a friend

 

[Zikofski]

awesome can't wait for you to get the new tank up and running

 

[daizeUK]

I think you could squeeze a 4ft tank on that cabinet
Any ideas what will go in it yet?  Or have you already started a journal?

 

[Mamashack]

Got serious cabinet envy here, Ch4rlie! I love that dark cabinet!
