Hi
I am starting up a shrimp tank, when my plants and extra airsupply come, I am going to cycle it using the foam filter from my tank that is 4 yrs old no desease, so should be able to go quick.
I have the tank up and running now with nothing in it but sand and rock lol, as I had to see what it looks like, trying a blue sand with my yellow sand looks fab
My tank is a Jewul reckord 60 so 60L tank measueremnts are 2Ft lenght and I think 1ft depth and width
I am planting with weighted (ceramic not lead) plants, I use a good ebay plant supplier in 4yrs all plants good no snail hitchhikers
OK enough background sort of lol, My main tank downstairs has a lot of fish I like, but they are not pretty and they are large so it would be nice to put something pretty in my smaller tank, I also have a love of bottom feeders, i would love 1 or 2 small plecs, but dont want them if they would prey on shrimp
I am thinking of having some cherry shrimp and tigers, and maybe whatever my local fish shop can get a hold of, they ahve a new contact for some more unuasul fresh water shirmps.
I have also seen fw clams are theese ok with shrimp, I am planing on planting well and having lots of hidy holes
many thanks in advance
