Hi marle, thanks for your support and compliment, hope that the shrimplets would survive. Do we have to feed the shrimplets with any food such as mosura mineral plus? Thanks.

This tank though "look" comfortable, it is fundamentally bad. It will produce no or few shrimplets. Can you guess what is wrong?Originally Posted by marle

hey your tank looks just as i hope mine will look... but i keep having problem planting... the moss keep getting cut up by those shrimps. mess up the whole tank.
Hmm... it looks fine to me leh
Hi namska, mostly all mosses have to tie to somethings, if you want the moss to be like carpet or use as foreground plants, you have to tie to stainless steel or plastic mesh which can buy at LFS. Or you can tie it to DW or BW. with fishing line, so that the shrimps will not mess up. As the moss grow healthy it will cover up the fish line.
Good news, today change 20 percent of the water in the tank and using dripping method to fill up. after that saw so many shrimplets swimming about. Great
lol, you sounded like you are keeping sea monkey, You pour in water, sea monkey hatchs.
Hi
From the picture, it tells that it have added alot of hardship, patient and determination. Keep up the good work!
Cheers

Hi Cpark188, how often you do water change?
Hi bro, I only change 20-30 percent of the water once in two weeks. Its good to change every week but I have shrimplet in the tank so try to maintain the stabilization the water perimeter.

Thats what im talking about, good water volume, chiller and the right filters for keeping CRS. There just way too many new aquarist aiming to keep CRS in less than 1FT nowadays.
Plecofanatic, Coryfanatic and dwarf cichlids.
I think it should be fine if they use a good filter, chiller and do not overstock?
Hi bro, update my 3 ft. tank and hope you like it.
Title " A place to look for Bettas fish." something like that.
I like to create my tank into a landmark design using cloudy skylight with full moon display at night so romantic. Looking at the 3 ft.tank and admiring at the water flowing down the stream passing by the dense forest and bushy trees to a pond then flows down the river. The front view looks like in the swampy area with small lace java fern as foreground. The nanas over growth the hilltop and java fern plants at both side looks like banana trees.The moss wall at background need sometimes to grow as represent the distance trees. There are some stem plants (can't see) behind the DW still needs time to grow. That's all bros/sis and forgive my poor english. Cheers and don't mind to comments and further my knowledge.
Regards,
