New tanks

**Argent** · 20th Sep 2010, 19:24

Hi I got 3 tanks. All nano tanks, a) 18x16x12cm, b) 16x16x22cm, and c) 34x22x28 cm tank. The biggest tank has some cherry and Sakura shrimps, the others have 2 endler male guppies and 3 endler females. There is also a breeder tank with some endler fries. Thinking of shuffling around the fish and shrimps. Any suggestions?

I mean what would be the best combi. Currently tank A has 2 pairs of endler guppies, tank B has one female endler, and a breeding box of endler fry, and tank C has 10 shrimps - a mix of cherries and Sakura. Now wondering if I should put all the guppies into tank A or tank B, with the adults in one tank and the fries in another tank or with the shrimps in tank C. Tanks A and B are bare bottomed, with moss and hornwort and sponge filters. Tank C has OHF and moss, anubias,black sand substrate. All tanks are cycled already.

Actually I did put them together for a while, but the shrimp didn't come out to play as often. Unless someone has ideas on how to make my tank heavily mossed?planted? with black sand. I have a moss wall in the shrimp tank.

What if I put endler fry inside? should be really small... not bigger than the shrimplets

That will work, just remember to take them out before they grow too big

I use freshwater seaweed tied to wire mesh & put it on the ground or tied to driftwood - they grow really well & the shrimplets hide in there from the endlers.
