sorry guys! coming back for spring break i decided last minute to redo the whole tank, theres a lack of maintenance so i could not take a final final picture. I tried my best at designing the hardscape layout, usually id ask for input, it will still be appreciated but i wont be here after this week since im going back to school, so i wont be able to change it haha. But yea so i took out all the plants, and added one bigger rock and went for the triangle layout with plants only on one side and i wanted an open field on the left side because i made this a crystal red shrimp breeding tank. my hopes for this tank is for it to grow in nicely as well as a breeding grounds for the shrimp so that they can minimize the algae in the tank while im gone.
Plants:
rotala rotundafolia red (singapore) (right corner)
rotala green (right corner)
isoetes tawainese (mid left)
micro carpea (mid right)
HC
mini pelia (middle)
12 crystal red shrimp
This is the final picture of the tank before...the best i could do since im never home.
This is the tank now
here are some pictures of the shrimp
So yea i just hope they live...i used 60% of the old tank water...so i dont think cycling was a problem and i also used the same soil and i didnt change the filter at all. It is a little cloudy probably from filling and a slight bacteria bloom, but that will go away in a few days i predict.
