    Cause i started a 3ft shrimp tank, using GEX soil (plants & shrimps), DIY CO2, tank temp 28 deg C, no chemical added.
    Plants are java ferns, java moss, taiwan moss, glosso.
    But it is a failure, about 40 cherries, now left 2.
    some of the shrimps died too, but not that often and just 1 in a month. And I am so sure about over dosing of dry fert will kill the shrimps, this is my passed experience. And, at night with aeration to prevent oxygen deficiency.

    So far red cherry in my tank is producing its new generation, food(algae) is important. A friend of my taught to breed shrimps in low light & fert free condition. Most important is thick/bushy moss is a must, for the young fry to hide.

    Shrimps in my tank stopped producing because of the moss spread/less thick. IMO, start with 5 shrimps in the tank until all are stable, then slowly increasing. To find a balance in between is pretty hard, but don't give up.

    I think those Micranthemum umbrosum is nice, just that need to trim it once in 3~4days. Rotala.....I am facing a difficulty on this plant, still trying very hard to get this plant truning into red.

    If notice the right background narrow leaf(that facing upward), I will replace it when get something suitable. Narrow fern leaf cannot expose to much to high light, will caught a lot of algae on the leaves surface and extend the lenght faster.

    For Downoi, must put at bright area and dose fertilizer, the rest almost the same.

    Hi, nice tank there.

    IMO, you can create better depth if you move the red stem leftware and compliment it with another smaller leaved plant. Less red, more yellow-green color to mark transition to the greens.

    The downoi looks healthy but the size and position is making the entire picture more 2D then 3D.

    Actually I think the scape will look more harmony without the red stem plant.

    Hi Jason,
    Very nice layout with fine detailing.
    Your last thread in Aug 08 mentioned about creating a new aquascape. Any updates?
