haha I know Andrew... For sure I'm going to keep this next scape with Flame Moss on the driftwood and keeping the substrate clear of plants. It will be a big tank of FLAME moss in the center! :-) FLAME ON

been a while since i updated...

Within 2 weeks I now have 6 berried CRS!!



I just tied down some java moss to some rocks and the rock on the very far left is tied with mini pellia. Right side is marsiela minuta, right back corner is flame moss.

Can't wait till the moss grow out!

Its been a Long time since ive updated here.
So a few of the females released some of the baby shrimp. I see them EVERYWHERE. and they are very very small. Hopefully they will all survive and make it through (I wouldn't see why not).

I had a total of 6 berried females. I think 4 of them are still berried, but should be releasing this week/next week. VERY Excited!

Babies are great. I counted over 15 of them already and 4 females are still berried! They are SUPER SMALL. Definitely found 4 CBS :-)

Temp is around 74*. My condo stays around 72*F.



I might take out the marsiela minuta so i can have more viewable area of shrimp.

Well, I"m not sure where i was going with the setup lol.. Just kinda threw it together and kept changing it and couldn't decide on 1 setup.

What I want is a really Basic look. No stem plants. Just something in the middle. Maybe 1 piece of driftwood with moss on it and thats it. I figured I would want to have a better view of seeing the shrimp instead of a crazy planted tank.

The plants on the left.. I'm not sure but i might take them all out. Any suggestions?
