Fluval Spec Work In Progress

[minnnt]

Yeah standard tigers are nice too... Very nice.

Neon Greens? Yellows?

I did think about yellows or greens but I remember reading somewhere they would breed with the Cherries as they are the same family and I'd end up with lots or brownish Shrimp?

 

[minnnt]

LOL!! In a spec i would only want 1 species anyway tbh. I have a 55 litre shrimp tank and it is brimming with cherries.

 

[JonE]

I'm hoping they will breed well in there, I'll just have to be careful and make sure it doesn't get too crowded, once my other tank has a few more hiding spots hopefully some can go in there.

 

[minnnt]

Sounds good. With the Spec being such a show piece of a tank i would want the stocking to be the same. So, although there is nothing wrong with Cherries, something a little more desireable ONLY would be a better choice imo. Cherries are great for learning with though.

 

[JonE]

I'd love to set it or another slightly bigger tank up as a mini Sulawasi biotope with some Harlequin and Cardinal shrimp.

 

[minnnt]

Fluval Flora? EBI?

 

[JonE]

Thats what I'd go for if I had the space and could convince the other half that another tank was a good idea.

 

[minnnt]

LOL! It's hardly massive. Haha...

Try harder...

 

[JonE]

I'll keep trying

 

[JonE]

I've got my first berried shrimp

 

[JonE]

My £6 eBay tweezers arrived today which are excellent quality for the money, so I decided to try Steve's suggestion and move the twig from the front of the tank, the tank looks much less crowded now. What do you think?
