Don't get discouraged! It will be well worth it once the members on here help you figure everything out. Just a suggestion do you have anywhere besides walmart to buy fish because the fish in all the walmarts iv been to aren't taken care of and are usually sick to begin with

Okay that's good:) sounds like your prepared already lol now all you need is to post some pictures!

That's good! You might be careful adding Red Cherry Shrimp with him, I know some people have had problems with betta Eating them but then others have had no problems. I think it mostly just depends on your fish, but if you don't mind the possibility of them getting eating you could always try

Very nice looking Beta!

The marineland LEDs, are they hoods? I thought they were strips lights and they should extend but what length do they extend from. Should be two options that would fit on that aquarium

What length are they?

Looks like a mayfly larvae to me

Congrats on the birthday! :) I'm not the shrimp expert on here but I know that with any other fish in the tank you a not likely going to see any baby shrimp. Also the adults will hide more with fish in the tank. You could probably do gravel but the shrimp are going to want somewhere to hide and...

I havn't been able to find any shrimp around me except for ghost shrimp. I'm in south central Oklahoma. Havn't tried Dallas yet tho still about an hour and a half to there tho... But I can always order from fellow AA members!:)

Still have the marineland LEDs?

Okay thanks I'll check it out:)

I'll check them out! Haha! Uh oh=P

Anyone know a good Lighting solution? I was thinking about the marineland double bright led since the tank will be so shallow but I'm not sure. Any cheaper solution?

That's why I wanted to build my own because it's difficult to find the right sized tanks and I could build my tank to better suit shrimp:)

The video that is linked above is one I watched and I plan on ordering Pre cut sheets from "TAPplastics.com" in the right sizes and using the acrylic welding agent and the applicator bottle they sell to "weld" the pieces together
