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!
Here's me 20 gallon yellow neo / CRS tank. I have java moss, peacock moss on driftwood, cholla log, subwassertang, little bit of guppy grass, and 2 x 20 gallon sponge filters. I'm changing out the substrate next week to fluval shrimp stratum. And it's magical. It's an upside down tank, lol
Future 16 gallon bowfront colony of RCS. No ADA, Amano, Iwagumi, none of that. I'll be starting a journal soon. Also, that's organic garden soil in the bottom which will be capped with black diamond.
NYREPS your tanks my me smile! GORGEOUS! I'll post mine in a bit but I'll just warn ahead of time...they aren't meant to be pretty...they're meant to be practical (as in for my purposes...so I can catch the buggers!)
Here are my current ones, again, I tried pretty and scaped and it just didn't work out for my needs So here is crappy and functional (for me!) First tank is a 3 gallon that houses CRS, CBS, Goldens and Taiwans. SEcond tank is Mr Aqua 12g Long Tibee tank. 3rd tank is our son's crayfish tank with about 50 or more PFRs and Supremes in there (though some are reverting back to crappy cherries on that white sand).
I don't think anyone is going to want to post their tank after seeing those. I can't imagine the time and patience it took to get the tanks to look so stunning.
Given how many different styles of layouts there are, and how many levels of experience, NO ONE should ever feel--or be made to feel--bad sharing their work.
Here's my cherry shrimp tank. Low-tech, medium light and set-up for minimal maintenance requirements.
3g JBJ Picotope
substrate: fluorite
hardscape: local pink granite, one large piece mopani
plants:
crypts, cardamine lyrata, anubia nana petite, mini-bolbitis, xmas moss, dwarf baby tears, spikey guppy grass, frogbit, probably still some duckweed and dwarf pennywort in there as well.
Stock: cherry shrimp, 1x olive nerite
Stocking is *very* low at the moment as I'm slowly clearing out the cherry culls/mixed offspring before bringing in some more FPR's to go with the 3 females that I got from a mostly DOA shipment a couple months ago.
Did have some riccia mats (see album for past pictures) but ended up removing them as not being worth the constant trimming.
New RCS that accidentally came with a PFR, but no dedicated tank for them. Just my 14g community. The PFR came berried!
