Hi,
Time to show one of my next projects.
It will be a very low tech set up, with easy maintenance plants.
Set up:
Tank: 30x30x30cm DIY
Filtration: Aquaclear 20 HOB
Lighting: 16w t5 (2x8w)
Substrate: river sand
Hardscape: some river pebbles and Red Moor Wood
Flora:Java fern “Narrow leaf”, anubias nana, anubias nana “petite” and vesicularia ferriei (weeping moss).
Today I add few small plantlets of bolbitis heudeloti to the cube.
what a nice and simple setup.

Thanks to both of you. I'm glad my tank looks nice to other people eyes.
Made a small adjustament putting a few more anubias at the base of the root and some sand between pebbles...
.
Yesterday I added the first member of the clean up crew... Atya Gabonensis or 'Vampire shrimp'.
Although looks scary it's a very peacefull invertebrate.
ahh! i want to get one of those too, but i'm not too sure about what they exactly need as food, because i have a heavily planted 2.5 gallon tank with small cherries and baby cherries. not too sure if they will survive =/

Vampire Shrimp look like some sort of wood shrimp to me with the fin-like "fore-hand"

Do they sell that in SG???
Thanks!
hi
beautiful setup you have.. you have the eye for beauty...
The stones and wood are placed right at the centre of tank. I guess you intend
to have the tank viewed from all 4 sides. Like the stones,.. to have the bigger
pieces throw at the centre and smaller one at the edge is a good idea.
Would be nice challenge to see if can create slightly different view from each side...
different type of plants or something.... haha.. that be fun...
matt
Yes, it does...
They are close related...
Hi,
I got mine from LFS here in Portugal
and you are right... this is the gabon fan shrimp
Thanks for the nice complimment
But I've just set up the tank like the way I would like to see it.
Now, the update.
3 weeks passed since I set up the cube.
Plants are growing slowly but nicely, without any major concerns.
Because I didn't have a specfic clean up crew to clean and remove debris from the plants leaves, I decided to add a small colony of red cherry shrimp.
The filter shrimp aka vampire shrimp it's very nice sight, since it likes to move pebbles and gravel around to get some cover and hide when it feels threatened.
This is how the cube looks like after 3 weeks.
Looks like your goban fan shrimp has found in a cosy home at the base of your wood
Growing old with this forum.. :)

It's indeed very fun to watch.
Small update...
wooo, nice shrimp with eggs!
Joe, What a fascinating tank you have. Could you share with us the type of shrimps you have in the tank?
Is the vampire shrimp a territorial creature ?
