Small Low tech shrimp tank in office

**Ifish** · 8th Sep 2013, 11:59

Just managed to fix this up yesterday.
Pics and posting from iPhone, pardon my unprofessionalism please.

Nice set up... Keep it up and monitor the water change regime as the tank is very small.. Cycle the tank well..

Like the centrepiece plant in your tank, looking good..

Happy shrimping..

Hi Alvin, thank you for the advise and guidance. Have attached some pics of my community tank.
Picture of shrimplet, no clue what breed it is.
Picture Full wine red. (Stripe wine red is for office)
Picture of blue bolt.
Picture of BKK, another BKk. (Stripe BKK is for office)
Very difficult to take picture and post here. Must be because I am quite a tech idiot.

More pics which I didn't know how to attach to one post.

Shrimplet looks like snow white/golden to me based on the colour.

Nice shrimps!

You are very brave to do it in a small tank with only a sponge filter.

**Ifish** · 10th Sep 2013, 20:13

@Dscyth, thanks, shrimps from bro Alvin and some GC, this is the biggest I can use without startling the whole office, still cycling the tank, but don't know when to start putting in the crs, cbs or bkk and stripe wr. Maybe someone can lend me a pair of helmet first, if not how to cycle the tank.

just kidding.

Couldn't resist the temptation, my colleagues have shrimps to view daily, so therapeutic.

It is a type of echinodorus, might be cordifolius.
