Nice setup bro. Wish you success!
Thinking of getting some fire red shrimps myself. Remebered seeing some very intense coloured ones here in gallery somewhere..can't recall the post.

Nice and neat setup. But I am thinking your wire mesh is tied with too little fissiden. Even when the fissiden matured it will takes very long to fill up the whole mesh.

Sateman, keep fire shrimp too? Can sms me @91852339.

Magpie, notes. If got a chance to tie a new piece, would input more. Thanks.

Wind88,
Nope, I dont have any fire reds yet but intending to get some. Looking for good bargains daily here.
I'd love to try some CRS as well as the tank will be moved to my office where the aircond can help keep temp down...hmm still pondering.

Just try out with firered first. Then after move to office and the parameter and temp stable. Then sell the firered on this forum then get crs.

Will heed your advice neondagger. Is it difficult to net out the shrimps later or can I mix the Fire red with CRS?
My tank is quite heavily planted. Any lobang for those intense coloured ones?

Get those shrimp net ba. My shrimps does not fight as much as fishes but will hide when you start to spoon them. Might be easier if you clear the plants. But u can catch them as they feel safe and come out. It's about skills and luck haha.
Can they mix? I leave this question to the expert but I found some info online.
