ADA 60P Shrimp Tank (Lucky Number 3)

Yep, that was my experience as well. Started with 10 and 2 months later couldn't count them all.

That's why I don't understand how some people can charge so much for them. Ludicrous.

 

full tank shot.

 

Anyone know what this plant is? It grew from a tiny sprig in the driftwood and is now at a sizable little bushel.

 

ya it's been around 2 months too for me...going to have to start looking at trading some off in the near future at this rate

 

Rare shot of some of my Ember Tetras...really shy little fish these.

 

A little picture update.

 

Stunning - try a some black cardboard that you can get from checkers or CNA as a clip on backdrop or even blue cellophane.

Later Ferdie

 

Thanks Ferdie. Ya I have been contemplating a backing for the tank for some time...but unsure if its going to mess with the overall appearance or not...the back wall is a neutral colour so it hasnt been an issue as such.

 

Beautiful.

 

It looks stunning Mark

Getting very tempted to set up a shrimp tank too!!!!

 

Thanks Maria. You can do a tank like in my case, where it is focused on building the shrimp numbers, but still have fish in the tank that wont eat the baby shrimps.

 

Thanks mate!

 

Did a water change and a little trim of some of the plants that were getting out of hand...

 

Update after 2 months...the tank has really filled out with plants and is in need of a trimming...Red Cherry Shrimp population has exploded in numbers with almost no surface untouched by their little legs.

 

Did a little clearing out of the central pathway between the "trees" this afternoon...starting to look less overgrown.

 

I like this look, the clearing does it for me.

good looking little scape. only the pinatifida on the left that looks a bit out of place byt i just love that plant so also wont take it out

 

Thanks...ya that central break in the flaura does make a difference in the whole appearance.

 

Thanks Ryno...yes the Pinnatifida is out of place on the left there...but it's not a permanent fixture of the tank. I got 2 emersed stems from Matt and placed them in this tank to grow out. It was just the only spot in the tank I could put them ...once they have grown in number a bit i will transfer them to my other tanks.
also love it...had been looking for some for ages as it really is a great looking plant in scapes I have seen.
