I had to set a tank for the few carbon rili I had left. The shrimps were passing away one by one in a tank where I could not find any reason why they were doing so... I an emergency rescue, I dressed a new tank, 30liters, new soil, plants, new sponge filter, and I dosed some Bio Nitrivec (SERA). 2 hours after, I moved the shrimps in that new tank, and crossed fingers... That was a success. Not only the shrimps stop quiting, but they start again breeding after few weeks, and now I have recovered a full healthy colony from the very few I had left (3 females 4 males). They are about 400 now ^^)

View Member regards, skfadmin Hi everybody, I would like to introduce myself to this forum, I keep Red cherry shrimp in my 30 litre tank with 6 microfish which was set up in February, I have recently found loads of little baby shrimplets so I am very excited, I found 2 damsel fly larvae swimming about yesterday so quickly managed to catch them...hope they haven't eaten any of my baby's..I have 2 30 litre tanks with 1 male Betta in each tank and a 200 litre tropical community aquarium..looking forward to learning some tips about these lovely shrimps. .

One of my blue dreams. love them!

Added some cycled media to the filter. First inhabitants are in: Pretty sure the smaller one is a baby from the group of adults I have.

Water is clear now. My favorite pic of the tank so far.

I've been wanting to set up a hardscape only tank for awhile. Hardscape tanks only use rocks, wood and gravel/sand to create a scene. I went out and collected some rocks, gravel and roots today. Playing with the tank layout without water. Filling with water. And finally added some macropore just in case there were any nasties brought in with the root and gravel. Thanks to @The Tech Den, got this when it was a special recently. Knew it would come in handy for something. So now just waiting impatiently for the silt to clear from the water, then I'll add some media from an established filter, the snails and hopefully soon, the shrimp. Stay tuned.
