My new shrimp tank :)

[Retired Viking]

This is what my shrimp/guppy 30 gallon tank looks like. I had silent cycled it. It's not much now but the plants really grew. I have 10 ghost shrimp in it.

Man, and I’m in the process of trapping mine and putting them in a separate tank to give to the lfs. Anyone near Houston, TX is welcome to come get free RCS. My shrimp trap below.

Yess your plants look lush!! The ghost shrimp would love it in there! My stem plants never look that bushy after a while. Maybe it is my light but they end up looking weedy!

Sounds like a big job - good luck! Jeez, maybe I should have used a larger tank by the sounds of it!

I quickly moved from a 10G to a 20G long. I’m getting rid of the shrimp and moving all of my betta tanks to a front bedroom. Then I’ll have a betta room. All you’ll see in my den then is my 3 goldfish tanks and my tropical tank. 3 is much better than 9. I look like a fish hoarder right now.

Wish I could would love to have RCS but I live too far north of you. Love visiting your area, I have been there many times, the space center was great. My dad use to live in Harlingen TX. after he retired. My parents met at Lackland AFB TX when they were medics during the Korean War.

Two words that my dreams are made of: "Betta" + "Room" - I have regrettably downsized myself but when I'm not renting would love to have a few more again!

I have been trying to talk my wife into having a Betta tank. I have at least 6 empty tanks in my basement

Ahh! You definitly should convince her, my forum name isn't my forum name for no reason

Soo. I liked having shrimp so much that I made another shrimp tank *slaps forehead* they're both in the home office. Doing work is getting harder and harder!

If I had different cherry shrimp in one tank would they breed and make new/different colours?

Edit: Thinking about having a mix of colours in this 2nd tank!

I went with red cherry shrimp in the end for the 1st/original shrimp tank also!

If you keep different coloured cherry shrimps in the same tank, the babies would be brown, I'm afraid.
You can keep different varieties of one colour together (eg a tank with red cherry, red sakura and bloody Mary shrimps, or a tank with blue dream, blue velvet and blue jelly shrimps) but the offspring would loose the characteristics of each variety and be just red or just blue.
