Re: First Shrimp Tank
I like the simplicity of this tank, will be great for shrimp.
Cheerio,
Ady.
I would see too, i had it on wood and it looked great. One thing though, when it gets going trim it hard and frequently as if you leave it the lower portions brown and it comes loose from its fixing. Regular trimming will prevent this im surelogi-cat said:

Re: First Shrimp Tank
Maybe try weeping or willow moss. Regular trimming will cause it to bush really nicely

Re: First Shrimp Tank
Its been a week now so i thought i would post an update. Parameters are spot on for CRS, so yesterday went to MA and picked up my first three CRSs. They are not high grades but they will do for now. Put them in the tank yesterday afternoon and when i got back from work yesterday (around 10pm), i already notice that one of them had molted. Flame moss is growing surprisingly well for a week. The wood has some fuzz on it, but that can be expected; hopefully it will go away in a few weeks.
Will be looking to go to FreshWaterShrimp headquarters and picking up some top notch shrimp when i'm free. Will upload pictures tomorrow.

I acquired another 5 CRS at my local MA on friday, so in total there are now 8. I have some weeping moss which i will attach to small pieces of slate which i will scatter around the substrate. So far i am happy with how it look. Don't think i will buy anything else; just gonna wait for it to evolve.
