Eriocaulon sp finally arrived from overseas. It is a little tender but still green. I wonder if I can keep it alive? Should prove to be the hardest plant I have attempted to grow, and it is starting in a pretty sad state. But it is an amazing species for a nano tank. I planted all of it. Water is a little cloudy from stirring up the aquasoil but you get the idea.

Congrats on the new shrimp! It questions me though, considering that shrimp have very small bio-load, would they be able to sustain the cycle?

 

[fort384]

maybe not.. but I am not sure it will matter.

 

[tyspot1000]

oh, take pics of them in!

 

[fort384]

They are in. Did an hour and a half of drip acclimation. They seem happy. Went right to the small amount of algae in the tank and started going to town. I am sure it will take a week or so for them to color up. They are still kind of pale from the stress of shipping.

They look great! Do you plan on adding any fish? There are some cool smaller species that would be able to fit in your tank.
