I have recently rescaped my two footer which i started this wonderful hobby with almost a year ago. It started as a iwagumi scape with shrimp but quickly became a shrimp tank lol. Due to this I decide to redo the tank over the last couple of months.

Currently i have my Oebt colony, blue gene red rili culls and some chamleons. I will be dropping and posting the last of the rili's this weekend and bringing home some additional chamleon. 

Shout-outs to @Ronskitz for this awesome driftwood. @OzShrimp for some of the nice plants. @newbreed for the moss ledges really like them.

I plan on adding a few more plants and mosses but pretty happy with it now.

As always please feel free to give me pointers, advise and critique. 

Cheers.

I haven't  updated this tank in a few weeks.  I did a bit of a trim and pulled out a lot of hair grass. Makes it a lot easier to see the shrimp. Starting to see a lot of shrimplets and juvie

Thanks Ineke

Yeah I am going to get some more us fissidens and tie it around some parts of the driftwood. Got some trident fern I purchased off a member ages ago that I want to tie on it too. Maybe some more lava rock to create more hiding places too.

Hey mate,

Just a curious question. How come your water is still cloudy and you already put in the shrimp?

I'm good but was really busy flying around recently.

Moving plant and not taking out the shrimp? That's a very risky move. :dizzy:

:innocent:In hindsight I should have removed all the shrimp. I didn't really think about it properly and did not expect how cloudy I would make the water. It is still a bit cloudy in there this morning.

Nice job D. The driftwood has some really nice shapes to it and I like the layout. The moss ledges look really good and now that I have seen yours I think I will be ordering some myself.

Your OEBT's are sensational, I really look forward to hitting you up for some when you have them breeding well enough. Nice photos too and I really like the 5th photo and the last photo of the OEBT really highlight the orange eyes. j

The orange eyes against the dark body looks awesome! Perhaps I'll get good at my shrimp keeping skills enough one day to keep these. :-)

My colony is finally starting to recover and grow. Many of the shrimplets have become juvies and young adults. Looking forward for them to start breeding.

Is it just me or do OEBT'S seem to grow slower and take longer to mature?

Anyways enjoy the pictures. Currently NFS.

If you want some people when i was buying people were selling mid grade ones for 50 to 100 for each juvie

Also mid grade pairs were going for 200 to 300.

I am sure there are sellers out there.

My personal favourite tank.

It is also going through a population boom haha. Last count 8 berried females there maybe be a few more. I cant wait to see all the shrimplets.

Getting closer to the mega colony goal.

      Tank Reset - What soil does everyone use?

      By herrwibi · Posted

      I've attached a small bit to the rock as the tank is currently cycling that had the crystal reds in it . I've always been torn between blue bolts and shadow pandas but blue bolts always wins. I never thought about taking some from my other tank and using them a tester but that is a good plan, saves me getting some blue bolts and then all of a sudden i have a big issue again. Hopefully not . That's why i am glad i have the bigger tank and also any of the lighter blue bolts can go into the bigger tank for culling. I've attached a few more favourite. My favourite shrimp which i think this is correct is an extreme bkk . I've also got a photo of one of my many red wines.  https://ibb.co/BVhDMMK https://ibb.co/42Q3ZYc https://ibb.co/gTD403T

      Tank Reset - What soil does everyone use?

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It may be worth holding off on the subwassertang as when you set up the new tank you can then use it in there? I think I could see a few red wine, if they aren't full size, could just have been the light though! There are 3 half size white shrimp with a red head between the large crs in the third photo of the sponge (about half way down), they are beautiful also .They may just be crs but the photo looks redder than those, but may again just be the light! My overall favourites are blue bolts also. I would use some of the crs though for about 3 months as a tester before getting blue bolts for the re-setup tank, you can then remove the crs. You have lots of the crs and you know they are healthy so it makes sense to use them (free) to 'test' that all is ok first, before getting the blue bolts! It will help mentally also, just think how devastated you would be if for some reason the blue bolts died because there is a problem (you won't know with them whether it was the shrimp or the setup), whereas you would still be upset with the crs dying but not as much - they were free and you have plenty of others in the other tank. If you want blue bolts only in the tank you may well get offspring of other colour/pattern depending on the genes of the parents, but then they can be moved to the other tank. ie Blue bolt mother and blue bolt father may create something not blue bolt, depending on the genes etc.

      Thank you, i enjoy a simple scape although i really need to try and take both sections of subwassertang out for a trim. They have just gone mad.  Things are doing great in this tank, i love my red wines as well bit couldn't find any at the time of taking a photo.  There is but i'm not sure they would breed true, i suppose it could be a project for me to breed them true but wouldn't know where to start. My other project i was thinking is just blue bolts in that tank , i love the colour.  I also suffer from slow breeding in winter although i've never had so much success with my taiwans/mischling that i hope it continues.

      That is a fabulous tank, is it built into a wall or partition. Love the simplicity of the layout, you can see lots of shrimp - I tend to overcrowd mine with plants so don't get to see so many shrimp. Great to hear that this tank is doing well and you have quite a few shrimp in there! Especially like the panda and blue bolt in the photos. As you have so many crs in this tank you shouldn't need to buy any more for your reset tank so that will be great and you know the shrimp are good quality and healthy, and that will make a bit of room in this tank for the next generation at the same time? You may experience the slowing down or stopping breeding for winter, though not everyone has that? Thanks for the photos!
