I have a copy of Diana Walstad's book "the ecology of the planted aquarium", and I have set up a couple of tanks extrapolating from that book, they are doing more than fine.
I have suggested it as reading material for a person who was asking in an aquarium-related facebook group for information about setting up a dirt shrimp tank, but one person answered that the book is now outdated and research has now moved forward.
This person is quite in the know about shrimps, shrimp breeding and all the various strains. He posts stock for sale on a regular basis and they all look amazing, so I'm not quite ready to dismiss his opinion.
So I thought I'd ask here, as this forum is more plant-oriented, and I might get a more relevant answer, so: is Diana Walstad's book still relevant and a good source of information, or we've moved past the information in there?
