Schottayb's Shrimp Tank

[SchottayB]

I decided to go out and buy a seccond fish tank! I only wanted a small tank for my bedroom so I wen't for somthing smart looking... well I tryed to!

So because I was getting a small tank, I thought it's no good me trying to keep any fish in it, so i'll go for one of these planted shrimp tanks!

The new tank up and running (with Red Cherry Shrimp!):



Any comments or questions are welcome! Thanks

That looks ace! I really love these tiny aquariums (providing they're used humanely!), they just seem so fascinating and are a great little addition to a room - I'd love one (no, no no no noooo! haha )

i bought one of these tanks a few weeks ago aswell. i think theyre great. mine houses my little forgs at the moment with some cherry shrimp in there. they were supposed to be food but have ended up not being food and have multiplied rather alot.

Just added my new plant that I will tie to some thin slate to make a carpet in the front corner of the tank... will get more pictures soon.

Edited.

This looks realy great looks so much nicer then my metal frame tank xD can i ask is it glass or perspex ?
also i think you should get a small bogwood log one like 10 cm long would look great with some moss on it

Its looking like a proper palace
You're making me jealous

 

[SchottayB]

haha Mark, told you them shrimp would go to a good home

The tank is glass, and funny you say that as another forum member on here sent me a message saying they have a little 8cm peice of wood for FREE if i wanted it! Soon snaped that up

Should have that in a couple of day, and yes i'll be tieing flame moss hopfuly on it
