These all look amazing ! On the shrimp subject I want to ask you "have you ever considered setting a shrimp tank with loads of leaf litter ? " :) I have read a lot on the subject and after 4 months of resurch I noticed that adding different "fresh "food ( Spinach , nettle or carrot ) and leafs ( oak, eucalyptus , birch , banana ) it realy help with teir diet and the oak helps them keep breading and stay healty ( not dropping any eggs , lowers the stress .... ) Any ideas or thoughts on the matter :)

Great setup! The shrimp will really enjoy this. If you're interested, for smaller tanks: the hydrocotyle japan has a mini version (at least from ADA) which is even daintier, its so beautiful! I am making 6x 30liter shrimp tanks, each with a different color neo, matching snails, and a themed aquascape (mountain, beach, jungle, iwagumi, moss, forest). Completed 4 so far, rest in progress.

Great setup! An update from our little aquatic world: we moved the nest (very carefully) to a shrimp tank and the dwarf gourami hatched! They're swimming and eating now. They survived despite shrimp eating some of the nest. We feed the fry Hikari "first bites". Powder is very fine and good for when they first start swimming. Fingers crossed your shrimp will breed and thrive 😊

@TechneMaker Жыл бұрын

Great tank for the shrimp. With my own cherry's I don't use a feeding tube and they seem to do just fine finding food. Also I would say I might be overfeeding slightly but that, in my opinion, seems to also spur on breeding as they feel confident in there being more then enough food for the colony.
