Wow, this is such a great thread!!
This is my 10 gallon Cherry tank + one lonely Amano we nicknamed Mr. Big, because he looks huge compared to the little RCS : )

I took this picture about six weeks ago, right after I got a starter set of 15 shrimps. They really do breed like crazy. There are already shrimplets everywhere.
The picture isn't the best, but it does capture the desert oasis/tropical island look this tank has. Most of my cherries aren't that brightly colored, I think because of the sand substrate. I wish I'd known when I was setting up the tank, that a darker substrate would bring out their colors. Other than that, I'm really happy with the way it looks, and the shrimp seem to love it too.
Do you like my ultra-custom filter attachment?

Update on the Shrimp Swamp
new Archaea 27 watt 10K fixture from AFA
RCS/Tigers just added

[Clare12345]

Also question to Gabe:
What light wattage do you use, and what is the watt per gallon ratio? I'm using medium lighting on my shrimp tank but I want a little higher light.
Thank you!

Time for updates!

[lauraleellbp]

Mine hasn't changed much. I need to thin out the Crypts, trim and replant some of the Hygro that's gotten leggy from light being blocked, and re-do the front:



What about yours, Carole?

[waterfaller1]

My tank above is now a sw nano. Thai is in the finnex{and the plants just will not grow..can't figure that one out} and then I have a 15 gal thread algae tank. I put both my 20 gal's together into the 15. Found a good home for some fish, and have a bunch of amanos. I added some really red low grade CRS, and there are a few cherries, and a couple cbs. It seems once I stopped worrying about keeping shrimp and fussing over them, they began to thrive!

Dang, 1 year later I get back to ya... been a busy year!!!

Thank you very much. I actually sold the tank recently. Had to move and could not take it with me.

The last picture I posted was one of the latest, but I have in the works a 40-45 long (same footprint as the 33 gallon only a couple inches taller) shrimp only tank and will house shrimp in my 90 gallon room divider and 300 gallon community tanks. I'll update this thread once I have the other shrimp tanks up and running.

Automatic WC System
enjoy

10 gallon switched to white cloud minnow tank.
