    Dear All Freshwater Fish Lovers

    Hi, I'm thinking of changing my tank rearing tetra to shrimps. the setup of my tank is 2 feet tank, normal sand base, ricca tied on log and rocks, mini tawian moss on log. the lights are 2 ft t5 4x25w and with co2 dissolve into water on a 4 bubbles per 10 sec.

    i have no problem with the plants and the tetra. however my shrimps (yamato and malaya) cannot survive long. thinking of upgrading to only shrimps. advice please

    Cherries and Malayan are hardy... should be good to start with . A fan would be good too, to lower the temperature.
