Thanks, Jimmy. I really like how that turned out myself. The only reason I don't want to move some of that moss over to my new 29g tank is because of the snails. I am going to try my best to keep then out of my 29g, but I know it will be near to impossible.

I guess i am just lucky (or cursed) when it comes to inverts.

Java moss has really grown fast in my 10g shrimp tank. My next step is to get a solid color piece of foamboard for the backs of my 10g tanks so you can't see through them...

Looks like a shrimp paradise! I can tell it will look even better with a background.

Thanks! I'm having trouble deciding with a color.....any suggestions?

 

[SpeedEuphoria]

black or darker blue

I second the black or darker blue suggestion. I believe that you can get the black and dark blue background with one color on each side. Personally, if I wanted a background in my RCS tanks I'd go with a black background. It would help bring out the colors of the shrimp even more.

tank looks great! go with a medium blue background and paint streaks/ripples of a lighter blue and a deep dark blue. have fun with it

Black

black!

 

[new2betas]

LOL!!! I will probably go black....and I hate to say it, but I am not much in to painting, so I will be using black foamboard. I have it on the back of my 29g tank and really like it!

I have stock standard black background. Presently it is taped on.

I know, I know... it's cheap and nasty.

March,
The reason I like the "foamboard" is because I didn't have to tape it at all. It is so thick that it pretty much stands on its own and with a hob filter, the filter helps "keep it in place" so to speak. I think I will have to pick up some more of it this week for my two 10g tanks.

 

[Atl300zx]

wow that moss is really taking off! tank is really look good. How are the shrimp doing? Any females carrying eggs?

 

[new2betas]

Thanks, Jimmy! Yes, I actually do have one berried female. I don't know if it is still one that I ordered from Bryan (bs6749) or if one of them has gotten berried since being in the tank. I have LOTS of babies swimming around...they are almost microscopic they are so small.
