So I had the opportunity Friday to setup some new 30cm cubes, which will be used for guppies (maybe shrimp later on!) I then decided it would be great to run a side by side comparison of the lights we sell online. All tanks have same heaters, filters and substrate (shirakura red bee sand). Left to Right: Aqualighter Nano Aqualighter Pico Up Aqua Y series 18cm ATLEDTiS E6 Left to Right: Flexi Mini Aqualighter Nano Up Aqua Y series 18cm ATLEDTiS E6 Left to Right: Flexi Mini Up Aqua ProZ 30cm Up Aqua Y series 18cm Up Aqua Y seties 25cm Left to Right: Flexi Mini Up Aqua ProZ 30cm Aqualighter Nano ATLEDTiS E6 Very surprised by the blue content in the Y series lights, though these still work well wih mosses and low light plants. Really Pleased with the ATLEDTiS E6 as it probably hd the most natural colour. I knew the Flexi minis were bright, and this is the original version, but when directly compared it outshines all. The ProZ has a nice even white colour to it as expected. Not a very scientific study, but amazing to see the side by side comparison. Hope it helps with any future plans for smaller tank setups. Will definitely give me a better base for recommendations in the future. Also have planted some tissue culture plants in each tank, again same plants across all tanks, so will be fun to watch the growth rates of each. As all other factors are the same, light will be the ultimate factor to growth. View full article

Great work. You might like a pizzacutter like i do: http://www.shrimpmaster.net/blog/47/make-some-shrimp-food.html works nice :)

Thanks. Yes, they all come from the same wild shrimp but I find no place where people tell that they have the same pattern, so I try to find if it is normal or rare. I put a new picture where it is more easy to see (one shrimp is orange rili with red nose)

That's a first. You WANT to grow algae?!! I think you have come to the right place. There are lots of expert algae growers here ? 3000K or 4000K and leave it on for 16 hours is my secret recipe.

Ahh that makes sense now. And the pics are great.

The only report i heard of interbreeding was between dennerli and holthuisi. Those reports are as always to be taken with a pinch of salt. Have a look at this link http://www.shrimpism.com/caridina-dennerli.html. Never heard first hand reports though, but i dont know too many breeders having more than one sulawesi specy per tank except from people keeping dennerli and spinata together

Very similar for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
