Can't wait to see your shrimp! When are you getting them?

 
Thanks the shrimp are ordered and should come sometime this week hopefully.

Congrats!! Nice one!

 

[Blobfish]

Looks very nice, it should be impressive once the moss grows in.

 

[TallTree01]

Thanks for all the feedback. I think the shrimp will arrive next week as the company needs to email me about payment ffirst. Damn small print.
 
Should I add ammonia so the filter doesn't die?

 

[Ch4rlie]

Reckon your filter bacs will be fine for 2 or 3 days without any snacks of ammonia, therefore if you give them a snack on day 4 or 5 that should keep them happy until next week when you get your shrimps.

I picked up some fluval shrimp granules at the LFS today. It has positive reviews and looks good enough. The LFS girl said she feeds them to hers and they go nuts for it. I fed some to my tetras and they gobbled it up in about 4 seconds. Has anyone had experience with this food? 

 

[TallTree01]

Everything is here! 
lots of shrimp and snails!  They've gave me extras of each!
Its so  like Christmas!
 
my mantis is here also.

 

[Ninjouzata]

We need pictures! I'd definitely like to see the mantis.

The bloody floating weed was a disaster. Made a giant mess and I spent an hour getting it out. There's still lil bits floating about. 
The shrimp are great! The red nose are bigger and are out  and about. The chameleon aren't as out much and are smaller. I think with time it'll be something  great. 
 
The 2 blonde  snails are cute  and spotty..
they gave  me like 12 snails so most are in my frog tank.
 
 
the mantis is tiny. About 1.5 cm long nymph she is brown. 
 
Pics wil come!
