Hello, everyone! I was going to make this journal a few days ago, but completely forgot. Haha.
I have had the urge to get into shrimp for a while now. I had a 2.5 gallon tank sitting around. That’s where I got the idea to make a shrimp tank.
Thank you to the people who helped me figure out shrimp species, filter choice, etc! It helped a lot.
I currently have the tank and filter plus substrate. I may have hardscape too, but I only tested the rock with vinegar, so Gwand and Essjay recommended I do some further testing (it’s the rock in the below photo!)
I have this tiny thing in my room for now, I don’t think it will move, but we’ll see where the tank ends up migrating.
Going with all red Cherry shrimp, as someone suggested, I don’t want poop brown shrimp in the end!
(Also, I definitely didn’t steal Bleu’s light for the photo! Jokes aside, i should have one ordered by Monday.)

Fill it with water and plants like christmas moss, subwassertang, floaters - stuff with lots of surface area and/or roots. Work on getting it nice and stable with some algae and biofilm growing.
