You need a few more plants in there and some nice looking mosses Java moss just doesn't cut it

They sure will, thats why its an only shrimp tank the guppies I had in there are long gone

Just a quick update guys, my delivery arrived today, been way to busy today, just managed to get some shots of them a few minutes ago, here are my new babies

Full tank shot to start with, this is how the tank looks now:

My new CRS

To finish off another very tiny Red Cherry shrimplet:

[5teady_2012]

Wow I didnt know the heat would affect them so much. I'll need to keep an eye on my bees and tigers. Where did you get the crystals if you dont mind me asking?

Looking better I can send you some mosses when I have more available, I just sent 5 batches out last week of Flame, Weeping and Spiky mosses and now need to wait a couple of weeks at least before I can prune some more. I will send you a PM with further details

The first batch I got from my LFS at £3 each, CRS need temps between 21ºC-24ºC and at 32ºC during the heat wave they didn't last long, fou that out the hard way
The latest batch of 15 I got from a seller on ebay, managed to get them for £3 each plus postage which wasn't too bad, next day delivery, well packaged, all arrived alive and well and one was already carrying eggs.

Thanks for the feedback guys

Love my little shrimplets so here are a couple more photos

Both shots on the Xmas moss:

This one with a little snail too

The RCS seem to be settling in pretty well, with the fan going I can maintain the temp at 22/23ºC.

Thanks for looking.

The crs are not too happy above 25 its always females with eggs that go first when they are not doing well. I keep them at 23-24C
Lovely tank, pics and shrimpies.

Thanks Liam, found that out the hard way now temps always between 22ºC and 24ºC, fingers crossed they will do better this time round

Well just a quick update, got some twigs and put it in the tank to break the mass of green lol
Here is the outcome, what do you guys think???

Thanks for looking

hey, great tank

personally I prefered it without the twigs but still looks good!

love the moss wall, I think I'll have to try that myself

How do you get your moss to grow so happily on those logs? Is it christmas moss? Beautiful tank, and impressive pics!

Thanks, not sure about the twigs anymore either LOL going to give a couple more weeks and see, the shrimp seem to like that which is the main thing

Not much happening here other than the Red Cherries breeding like rabbits!! Last time I counted it was about 60 or more shrimplets in there of various sizes and the females are carrying eggs. The CRS are doing well to but so far no news on them breeding, I haven't seen the female carrying eggs since I put her in the tank.

Some photos:

Thanks for looking, critics and comments always welcomed

I hate you.

Great tank. Hope mine will look half as good once I get it back up and running.
