I know you should have favourite, but we all know we do. I have a few berried female ATM, here is my favourite :)

[Kev]

Update: all the moss is establishing themselves very well ATM. I'm keeping this tank very simple so I can see my shrimps better ;)

Few female:

Cheers.

Pregnant Rilis are so pretty, love em!

[ineke]

Nice looking tank Kev and the Rilis are always nice to see. I tend to have too many hiding places in some of my tanks and don't see the shrimp much -except the Rili tank can always see them:)

[Squiggle]

Tank looks awesome dude & youve got many very nice berried girls, very well done! :victorious:

[Kev]

Had a few planaria in the tank ATM, hence I've added 6 spoon full of no planaia to the tank today. Will add 5 I the second day and 4 on the third.

[Kev]

Added a few amazon frog bite and change the position of some of the mosses today.

also change the feeding plate to a new position.

[Squiggle]

Looking very cool dude. :encouragement:

[ineke]

Nice clean looking tank Kev:encouragement:

[Kev]

I've decided to turn my community display tank into an all moss display tank with only rilli with blue or clear body with red head only tank.

This is the tank ATM.

Will post pic once I get this tank up and running.

[Squiggle]

Tank looks awesome already, should look stunning teeming with rilis, can't wait to see the pics. :victorious:

Hi bb, I'll looking to have only rilli with clean clear or blue body and a red head/tail only in this tank ;)

will hit you up on some rilli shrimps once I get this tank up and running.

Thank you in advance ;)

[Kev]

So after consulting the wife and kids, they want to have some plants in this tank. ;) They allowed me to have another tank which I can do an all moss tank ;)

I've decide to all some of the mosses with some hair algae and not treat it with anything chemical. Instead I have elected to just add glass/red noise/dae shrimps to help clean up the hair algae.

The plan is the stave these shrimp for a few weeks to let them take care of the algae.

Here is the tank in progress :

[BlueBolts]

Good result then.... Good strategy :encouragement: Lol

[Squiggle]

Very cool eco friendly plan dude, & you get another tank, win win! well done. :victorious:

[Kev]

Had a few problem with the tank, hence haven't update for a while. Finger cross everything is sorted now and I can start adding new shrimps to the tank.Current shrimps list:Glass shrimps Red rilli blue gene Blue cherryHere is a full tank shootCheers

[Squiggle]

Looking very good dude, hopefully we'll get to see some close ups of the shrimp soon. :encouragement:

[poeticwinter]

nice collections :)

[Kev]

Been a while since I've done any update. Here is the current tank. Everything is over grown and the the shrimps are breeding like rabbits ;).

[ineke]

Looks great Kev sometimes wild and wooly makes for a more natural look.

[Kev]

I will be going to Vn for three weeks at the end of December hence I am planing to recape and remove all the plants and mosses in this tank to rescape. So if there is anything here that you see and want please pm me.

My new idea is to have Ada mayala as substrate. Only fill the tank 3/5 up and fill the too 2/5 with java plants coming out of the water with mosses hanging off into the water. The bottom will be 70% empty with most of the plants place at the back of the tank.

I will let the tank cycle off the three weeks and the light will be set on timer for 9hrs a day.

((now just need the time to clean out the shrimps and tank))

I'm excited ;)

[ineke]

Sounds like that will be a very nice looking tank. Exciting times for you both with the trip and rescaping.:encouragement:
