Loads cheaper than aquarium ones.

Ok, so the Shrimpy Setup has been moved to my old Puffer Tank. The tank is 88 litres and roughly 30x15x12 iirc. Nice tank, really like Clearseal bare tanks.
Substrate is the same as it was for the Puffers, Unipac 2-3mm Black Gravel. (Not that you see much of it!) Basically, i have covered it with rocks and a Moss carpet. Nothing fancy, but hopefully it will be practical for the Shrimp to multiply over the next year or so.
There is a bit of a Sumatran root in there still with some Narrow Leaved Java Fern on it with some Cryptocoryne Wendtii Brown around the base.
May make a few tweaks and fine tune the display a little, but like i said, it's not designed to be a proper show tank. When moving them over i only found 1 Sparkling Gourami, so theyre obviously not suited to my water conditions.
On another note, i added 3 young Guppy fry from a friend (cheers FeV) and they're all hunky dory! Once they grow they will be transfered to my community tank.
Just for the record, the Staurogyne Repens won't be staying, it's just there to keep it alive until Monday when i can post it to SBS

Should start to perk up over the next week. Will pull any long bits off to make sure the moss doesn't die at the bottom.
