Wow! That moss wall is awesome. I don't think I've ever seen one that nice. Great job!

Many thanks, the wall was created using a plastic mesh and then the moss was attached to it using cotton thread, used Weeping Moss on the Wall.
Here is a photo of the mesh before the tank was filled up:

Very nice shrimps and beautiful setup Have to say, I personally prefer the look of lower grade Crystal Red shrimps

Can you post some specs of the tank? I love the lush green mosses (which is something I can never grow ) Oh, and what kind of plastic mesh is that you are using?
