Nice hard scape Joe, love the celestial danios. Never seen Riccardia chamedryfolia before - looking foreward to seeing it grown in - T

tbro- mini pellia it's a great plant, but takes really long time to start growing. If you see it, buy it... :thumbup:

Olá Paulo,
It's growing great... I already gave some to a couple of friends.
It's crystal black shrimp, but don't ask me for what kind of grades are. I don't have a clue, but they are beautiful little buggers.

Abraço.

They look great, mine have deeper whites, other than that not much difference :) mine have bred once, hopefully more soon ;)
Parabens :)

Hi,
2 weeks are gone since the set-up. So far, no major issues with the tank inhabitants, and my RCS female presented me with at least a dozen shrimplets.
The bad thing, it's about the GH, that keep rising (my water it's about 6º and now it's about 12º), due to the use of seiryu stone, and some plants are having some problems to adapt, like bolbitis and my mosses (mini-pellia and phoenix moss).

Today's pic.

That's a nice little tank and great pictures too. I love those shrimp specimen shots.

Hi,
Got some news to share :D
I went to my lfs what a lovely sight. Some really nice fish to have - boraras brigittae. Brought a small group of 6 home. Added as well to the nano a killer snail.

I've been wanting to do a similar sort of aquascape for ages, this has turned out real nice - nice one! :)
