Id personally go for a fish that wont get as big, glowlights will get around 4cm, which means a bigger mouth than things like dwarf rasboras and tetras like neons - but they are really nice.
Hey again Jason
I've looked into glowlights and from what I understand they'll be fine with adult shrimp. I've also seen a few vids with glowlights and adult cherry sized shrimp. And the shrimp don't seem fretted Shrimplets being eaten is something I will work towards limiting in due course but that's a secondary concern. Selecting the best for my params so that the females get to a berried state
is what I'm working towards with your help and others.
I'll try blanched spinach. I've already bought some Indian Almond bark but wont be adding peat of minerals since my water is won't need it. I'm thinking that a densely planted setup (which is the setup I had where shrimp survived) may go some way to reduce shrimplet loss.
Oh yeah yeah glowlights are absolutely fine with adult shrimp, but those that arent bigger than around 5mm may be eaten, and any babies seen will definately be eaten unfortunately
It's Ebi Dama Special in the pics, ran out a couple of weeks ago after they took a liking to it so ordered more from Aquarium Plant Food, I bought some ordinary Ebi Dama to try it out and have been using that since last week, it's getting eaten down to nothing over a few days in my Anubia walled tank, it gets utterly mauled and disappears overnight if I put it in my main tank with all the cherries in there and it's being grazed on occasionally in my rescaped shrimp tank (the one in the above pics) but only ever one or two shrimp at a time for a bit then they wander off and graze on something else. Haven't opened the Special yet, I'll drop one in at the weekend and see how they respond to it after not having it for a few weeks.
100L shrimp tank, wish I had the space for that!
As to selling any, possibly, not sure.
