Well, I don't have a dedicated shrimp tank, I would like to see yours! Please list plants, hardscape, and shrimp. Any tank. I have heard of Berta bowls with one RCS to massive 80 gallon colonies! Did I mention I want pics? Thanks! :):D

I'm glad to see nice shrimp tanks!!

( I don't appreciate that somehow having a shrimp tank became an excuse for having an ugly tank) lol!;)

Well this one is just done, I had to tear it down, had a leak:



30 gal, ferts, co2, no wc


And this is the one I kept:


5 gal, lil ferts, no co2, wk wc.

Mine are nothing compared to these, but the RCS tank is filled with magic water. I have 200+ juveniles in the tank at all times regardless of how many I remove. Also any plant that goes in there thrives.

This is my tiger shrimp tank that's only been set up a few weeks. I'm hoping to see some berried females soon.

Once I do I'm making a third 29g shrimp tank. I haven't decided if I want a new species or just a larger colony.

Nowhere fancy as most but its working...lots of babies and noticed one of the females yesterday so full of eggs she could barely move it seemed:



10gal, PFR's (no culls from source so really a mix), taiwan moss, fissidens, couple stems of macaranda, some pearl weed, dwarf sag, dwl frogbit, salvinia, duckweed. filtered by a dual sponge air driven and an ac30 with large sponge prefilter, lighting is standard hood with 2 13w cfls. Also has subwassertang and another variety of moss and IAL and one or two alder cones.
