Hi everyone,
Well lets see I'm new here obviously. I have a 55 gallon freshwater tank. I set up my tank roughly 5 weeks ago or so. I currently have 4 fiddler crabs, 8 ghost shrimp or so and 6 danios. *shrimp and fish were more for my cycle but they never died so I still got em. I set up a rocky beach for the crabs to get out of the water. * They were the main reason i wanted to set up an aquarium.* I put sand on the bottom for substrate on the water side. In the hill i put a mix of sand/rocks to show more of a transition then a sudden sand to rock switch. They seem to be very happy so far. Put in a few tablespoons of fresh water salt to help with slimecoat and such. I guess i only really have 35 gallons of water in the tank because of the beach and the slightly lower then normal water level. I gave a few hiding spots and a artifical branch they can walk up on and do their thing. I'm thinking of giving them more beach but still obvserving atm. If they go on it more often then I'll give them more, if they don't go on it often I think i'll leave it as it is. I'm in the procoess of making my own little cave with gravel and pvc pipe but not finished yet so its not included in the pictures. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns etc. Btw I built support for the beach with egg crate which seems to work very well, but sometimes requires some touch up on the rocks as they become exposed every now and then. Thanks for reading!
