I like neons too, but cardinals are better.

Neons by comparison look like they ran out of red halfway through.

Wow nice, love the branches. Notice you dont have strainers on the intake pipes for your (eheim?) filters? Did you have trouble with shrimp disappearing?

This is my tank before it all started growing in etc. I've since removed the rush and re-arranged the Anubias nana petites and given the moss rock central position to the left. Will update photos when my Camera gets fixed. Cheers

Wow, I love looking at what others have done with their shrimp tanks (and rooms).

Here is my CRS tank, its a 45cm cube with UpAqua Shrimp Sand. Its pretty plain I know and I should have cleaned the front glass. It used to have a lot of java moss but it all started to go brown so I pulled it out.

After speaking with dean I have just cleaned out another 45cm cube and set it up again. However this time I have used benibachi a made sure to use a much thicker layer. Just waiting for the cycle to finish before I add anything to the tank, hopefully it will be done in a few days as the media was already well seeded.

They are nothing to look at compared to all of the tanks in this thread, I prefer my tanks to be simple with only one or two kinds of moss and a few places for the shrimp to hide.

[Loach]

Is this a 50cm cube?

[Trav80]

Whoops, they are both 45cm cubes. I have 4 in total.
