10g Shrimp Tank Journal-Berried Shrimp!

CobraGuppy · 02-19-2009, 04:17 AM

So, here's my newly rescaped 10 gallon tank!

Specs:
Light: 1x10 watt and 1x13 watt bulb. Gonna try to find another 10 watt bulb.
Substrate: Flourite black sand
Filtration: Aquaclear 30 and Elite mini filter
Ferts: nothing
Fauna: guppies that have been in few months now. I will replace them with Red Cherry Shrimp in hopefully a week. They are just keeping the tank cycled for now.
Flora: Crypts Wendtii (i think), Water Wisteria, Taiwan moss.

Hardscape is one piece of driftwood i have and a nano package from Jake.

Planted

I just planted it today so i have to even out the substrate a bit and wait for the cloudiness to go away.

Any feedback and suggestions are appreciated

Wow I like it! Nice plant selection, looks like a jungle the shrimp will have fun hiding in

Nice! what kind of driftwood is that it looks really nice

CobraGuppy · 02-19-2009, 09:48 PM

Thanks, I hope the shrimp enjoy it

The driftwood is Manzanita driftwood, i got it from badcopnofishtank in the swap and shop.

Tank has cleared up a bit.

I have a question, how can i add a piece of driftwood to the tank without pulling the whole wood structure out of the tank? I still have a lot of taiwan moss and driftwood left.

Wowwww...totally unfair! your 10g look so much better than mine!

I like the wood work, its cool

Oh! Didn't see your comment. Thanks

I have 3 gallons of apple juice left to go before i have all the gallon jugs i need for my shrimp...

crazyboi · 03-04-2009, 05:37 AM

Very Nice! I can see you've been busy with your tank. It's really looking nice though...i'll come back to see those shrimps in the tank.

suebe333 · 03-04-2009, 11:29 AM

waiting to see those shrimpy pics

CobraGuppy · 03-04-2009, 03:25 PM

Haha, i'll get them in two weeks during my spring break. I was going to get it this week but i'm gone for three days this weekend and next weekend i'm going to NC.

Didn't want the shrimpies to be home by themselves

CobraGuppy · 03-19-2009, 03:47 PM

The Shrimp should come today!

should i put the shrimp in and turn off all the lights so that they can adjust?
