Hi guys, this is my first post in SKF and im happy to find SKF as I noticed the forum is quite active with many shrimp enthusiasts which I hope to learn more from. Right now I have a 2 feet crs tank which i had started 1 year ago. It is fully planted with moss and buceps, and floating plants. Over the past 6 months I have been seeing berried shrimps and newborn shrimplets but the survival rate of the shrimplets growing to adult size is less than 10%. Here are more details of my tank: - canister filter with eheim substrate pro as medium. I also have a sponge filter and HOF filter with purigen pack as medium - Ada africana as substrate - led lights - chiller (connected to canister). Temp is around 73-78F - NH4, NO2 and NO3 are kept at zero. Ph at 5.5. Tds around 150 - dosing of bacter ae every other day. Wondering what do I need to do to increase the survival rate of the shrimplets. Hope to hear feed backs from you guys! Thanks!

Ha!! Did I say it's Hemigraphis or what. Crypt... bah.

Just a couple of shots of an emerse that I recently set up. Under (blue) LED and (yellow) compact florescent.

Yeah hard to say from the photo crabsy. I see the resemblance to a Crypt wendtii or similar as 2ofus says, but looking at the new growth I think the leaf margins are too divided. As you say it's "like a cutting" that sounds like a stem plant to me and me vote is for a non-true aquatic like "Dragons Flame" Hemigraphis or some cheap crap like that.
