Just as the title says, post some pictures of your shrimp aquariums. Include tank details. Main idea of this thread is that people looking into creating their own shrimp tank can take a look at yours and what equipment you used.

Ohh he's just giving you a hard time:hihi: :hihi: .

For the moss It is most likely Taiwan, Christmas, or Spiky<- My bet is that it's spiky. Close up shot Please?

I'll get some hideous pictures later tonight... But don't try to copy my setup... You will regret it for life:hihi:

That's amazing T!!!!!


Tainted Glory, do you know if the pantyhose is enough? I think if the flow is still strong it will suck the shrimp onto the pantyhose and keep them from being able to free themselves.
