    don't have to, just grab some used filter sponge or media to seed your new tank will do. I noticed that my shrimps doesn't react well when I dose bacteria

    You need proper filteration system with sufficient biomedia, stable water enviroment, cycled setup, a lot of patience and finally research more...

    The bigger the tank, the more buffer for errors. Especially with shrimps, which are sensitive, so it is an added insurance.

    I noticed you slope your aqua soil more left to right. I will suggest sloping your soil from the back to the front also, this will give illusion of depth/space.

    Throw in cheap shrimp 1st to check if the tank is fully cycled. Shrimp will suffer and die easy in a wrong conditioned or immatured tank.

    Re: New fire red or sakura shrimp tank

    Hi,

    Is that Christmas moss I see on the soil?

    I have tried that before but the Christmas moss don't grow on the soil. There will be a gap between the soil and the moss.

    shrimplets and fishes will go in between them. Thus I remove it all.

    Just my experience.

    Once you have shrimps inside, the slope will slowly disappear.

    Re: New fire red or sakura shrimp tank

    Guys, any advise how to prevent my tank from forming water vapour on my tank glass? I think is the tank temperature is colder than the surrounding temperature..

    I suppose you are using the glass cover that came with the tank. The water vapour forming on the glass cover is due to the evaporation of the water from your tank. It condenses on the cover thus forming water droplets. One way to prevent the water droplets from forming, is to have a fan that blows at the water surface. By constantly providing air flow, it will not allow air to be stagnant and thus not be able to condense on the glass cover.

    As for your Moss, you can tie them onto Lava rocks so that they won't float, and the shrimps will not go beneath the surface.

    Is the water vapor on your tank glass and are you using a chiller? If your tank temperature is much cooler than the ambient room temperature, you'll definitely get water condensation on the tank's front glass, no choice have to keep a cloth handy to wipe the front glass whenever you want to view the shrimps.
