Small moss and riccia tank

[marle]

A very nice looking tank indeed.
By the way, OT a little, do your boraras attack the Cherry shrimps? Ant shrimplets in the tank?

No they do not attack the cherry adults, but when there are shrimplets, i will remove the boraras.

I put 1 boraras there so they will eat the planaria, worms or even mosquito larvae.

nice setup . just to check, can moss and riccia survive wo co2 ?

Thanks you are right, they don't attack the shrimps.
Just gotten some boraras brigittae, they don't disturb my shrimps at all.
In fact, I managed to see on few occasion my shrimplets swam into close vincinty of the boraras, and they were not harm or attacked at all

The only drawback i find is that I have to get new fishfood cos their mouth is so small they can't eat any fishfood that I have at present.

moss can grow with less c02 input, but for riccia, they will only do well with sufficient light and c02 input

hey there, do not worry about the boraras, i never ever feed them before so they can eat the planaria or other small bugs. You do not have to worry about this factor as long as your tank does not have too many boraras and its planted.

You might wanne introduce some OTO fish in ur tank. These fish eats algae. Help in keeping your tank clean without much maintainence. One or two fish should do. Gd luck

Hi, nice tank you have. IMHO, add a small shoal of boraras? I don't think you should worry about boraras attacking the baby shrimplets if your moss is lush for them to hide in it. Bits of short Japanese Hairgrass infront of the rock would be nice. Tall hairgrass at the back? Which type (brand/model) of filter are you intending to switch to? You may like to consider adding a pair of otos if there is brown algae growing in the tank, especially on the leaves. Oh yes! MM looks better and nicer if grown in lumps - I mean you can put a few stalks of MM and plant them together, instead of planting them apart stalk by stalk....These are just my humble opinion.
