Still no shrimp I lifted all of the driftwood up n out today and checked under them and in the plants no sign at all. Should I now assume these are dead as I can't find any body's what so ever. I only have an assassin snail in the tank. Friday I am going to get a few tetra .

I have seen a few people on this forum say that these fish are fine for this tank. I know I don't want to over stock and I'm not going to include them all at the same time maybe put 4 in at first. I no there are mixed reviews about this tank some good some bad.

I have the fluval edge and have been told by other people that dwarf cat fish will live comfortably with about 8 cardinal tetra. :) I will go to my lfs this weekend and get the cardinals :)

If I was to get a couple of Cherry Shrimp with the bee shrimp with the 6 cardinal tetra and a Dwarf cat fish. Would this be a problem?

I have a few bits of drift wood in the tank and one bit has a large fern growing on it. I am just hoping there hiding somewhere. I will be patient and see if they appear. Would it help them feel more comfortable if I get more shrimp?

Is there anything I can do to encourage them out or just be patient ? :) sorry for all the questions, these are the first shrimp I have ever had.

Do you know how long they can hide for? It's been about two days with no sight of them at all. Just a little concerned that of I get more they will also disappear :(

Hello all. I have been doing a fish less cycle for my tank as advised by a friend at work. He has come over with a master test kit and says its ok to slowly start to introduce fish. I know this is a small tank. I was thinking of stocking it with one Betta, 5 micro rasboras and maybe a few...
