Zeitgeist shrimp farm - babies are hatching!

**chase127** · 05-22-2009, 12:15 AM

I'm back in the nano freshwater world - at least for summer. Ive been wanting to keep shrimp again but my water is terrible for invertz. But since its summer time in Florida that means theres free water falling from the sky

pH 6.2.

Hardware-
20W cfl
zoo med 501
some eco/black sand

Software-
anubias nana
needle leaf java fern
taiwan moss
hygro angustifolia

here it is. a bit cloudy, but i just planted it.

That's a great start. What kind of shrimp are you planning on putting in there?

i know a source for some nice Sulawesi shrimp--different stuff. might you be interested in those at all?

i want a shrimp tank someday. my list of "wanted tanks" never stops growing.

**malaybiswas** · 05-22-2009, 01:36 AM

ditto. irrespective of how attractive they look in there, I'll probably never attempt getting any from them.
