Yellow Passion - nano with Yellow shrimp

[alex08]

Well, it's time to show you the second nano i've made, a small home for a bunch of Yellow shrimp.

I think a few of you are familiar with this pic :

Wild Roots has the Sakuras and the Snow Whites.
Roots of Joy is the name of the former setup, with some cherry and green hybrids.
So, here we go with Roots of Joy II - Yellow Passion.

A close up of this setup :

No CO2, no ferts, same lighting as Wild Roots and simple black quartz gravel.
Just some Easy Carbo at two or three days a week seems to work fine for these plants.

First week shrimp pics :

And of course, more pics to come.

Lovely mate. Looks like you'll have a few berried females soon looking at the size of their saddles! I had some yellow shrimp last year and they bred a couple of generations and then unfortunately they all died for no apparent reason. I would love to get some yellow shrimp again and breed them but I'm worried that the same will happen again.

Nice setup as always Alex, job well done!

P.S nice name for the setup

Love the way the plants contrast in this tank. Very effective.

Matty, this setup is around two and half to three months old and like you said they breed pretty fast. Last week i spotted a third generation of shrimplets coming out of the jungle to feed with the "big guys".
Yellow Passion has the same water parametres as Wild Roots, nothing special.

Michael, thanks. I want to keep it simple, as shrimp friendly as possible. So far, so good.

Henry, glad you like it.
Here's a list :

-Alternanthera mini
-Anubias petite
-Tiger lotus
-Pistia stratiotes
-Hemianthus glomeratus
