Some Fauna photos from the 2g

Neocaridina denticulata var. sinensis: ("Red Cherry Shrimp")

Here you can clearly see the gender differences.

Heterandria Formosa ("Least Killie")

Can you believe I found him swimming among feeder mollies at the LFs?

Great plants and cute shrimp !
I don't know about the fish though, last time i heard the only fish that can happily live in a 2gal are bettas .

heterandria formosa are some of the smallest fish in the hobby. One breeder told me you could keep over 5 in a 1g happily. Not only this fish though, there are a lot of very small fish appropriate for very small aquaria-- hyphesobrycon amandae, borara maculata, endler's live bearer, emerald microrasbora (though now classified as a danio), and several others.

There are several that can be, doesn't mean you should normally. It's a nice tank though and it looks obvious you know what you're doing. It's when other people do it that scares me.

It's still a work in progress . . . Overall, I'm happy with it's developement, particularly the glosso. This was taken last saturday-- we are now into the third week of it's growth. This photo is also posted in the planted tank section.

1 foot cube = now a grow out instead of a display tank. There is Taiwan Moss and Pellia everywhere, as well as an assortment of other plants that I fancy-- including a variety of stem plants.

10g = now a half-filled vivarium dedicated to growing local mosses and liverworts emersed and submersed. I am having success growing some of the plants under water.

5g = still a display but had a complete overhall.

Most of the others have been taken down. I am slowly preparing to leave and go to college so-- almost all my tanks will be coming down. I'm setting up a 30g at a friends house to use as a grow-out for plants, and a home for all my remaining fish (there aren't many still in my collection as I have been finding knew homes for them). The 30g will be for the sake of keeping my collection, and hopefully producing cuttings I can use in a tank at my dorm at Tulane University.

Most likely all the tanks except the 30 at the friends house and the 20g at my house that is a shrimp nursery, will be taken down eventually.
