forever_and_a_day Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) that is one red shrimp. looking pretty good so far, but i think you could've moved the bunch of plants closer to the 1/3 mark as opposed to having them in the corner... 'cause it looks a bit like you've forgotten half the tank. but it'll probably look better once everything's had a chance to grow in :P Edited November 28, 2011 by MT Syndrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks, it's one of my best, I'll be getting rid of the more patchy ones soon. They do go to the 1/3 mark, it will definatly look better when the carper has grown in. I like the view from my bed better, much more depth and the plants look fuller as opposed to the shoved in a corner look you mentioned. I don't view it from the front so when I'm planting plants I look in the side. When I move it I probably will extend it as then it will be viewed from the front. Will see how it goes!

Matt_95 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Thanks Paul, I figured it out.... I unplugged the chiller thinking it was something else and it got to over 28 degrees. A very generous person on AL sent me some new ones though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I found some shrimplets yesterday, they are too cute! They already have colour! One looks to be SS grade :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Congrats Matt! Hope they grow well for you I'm not far off from setting up my shrimp tank. Going to go with some native shrimp though. That way I don't have to worry about a cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Cherry shrimp don't need a chiller and have great colour so do the yellows but they go for around $130 each lol, collecting some natives on my birthday :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Cool. Happy hunting. I think I remember you telling me that about cherries last time I saw you. I have my heart set on some chameleons though, so will go with those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
