Decided 5/6 mths ago to make a shrimp only tank after seeing a few RCS in my community tank become snacks to both fish & the bigger Amanos (whether the Amanos hunted them or were just scavenging is not the point). Started with just the tank & shrimp, other stuff was "thrown" in as I acquired/scavenged it from my other tanks/kijiji. I know I am doing this backwards with shrimp & tank first then aquascaping but such is my life ��
Specs
30g/114l tall tank - 24L 24H 12D
Canopy with 2 40w LEDs where the incadescents used to be
AC 30 & Penguin 125 (no bio wheel) with insert foam on intakes - shrimp seem to love riding the outflows
100w "hob" heater that I need to replace with a submersible when funds allow
Natural coloured "pea gravel" - what I had on hand at set up, eventually hoping to switch it out for black gravel
3 pcs of spider wood on slate - 2 in tank, 1 just acquired last week at lfs
Java moss, mixed with some Christmas moss & Guppy grass as that is all my lighting seems to allow & no time, nor inclanation to "fuss" with plants - I have Parrot feather or something like it floating in other tanks for fry so that is available if I want it
Lots of RCS from teeny weenys to adult and 10 recently acquired Tangerine tigers who seem to be settling in fine
PLEASE throw me out ideas as I am at a total loss as to what I want the "final" look to be at this point and need some kind of focus - the only thing I am sort of set on is using 2 of the Spider wood to try and hide the intake tubes from your initial view
Sorry for the photo quality & colour it's the best my phone does
