Shrimp Tank / Aquarium

- Start date
Got seven very little Blue Velvet Shrimp (Neocaridina Davidi) today.
They are in tank2 with two medium Red Cherry Shrimp and two Amano Shrimp.
Have another four Amano Shrimp in the original tank. There were two big (4cm approx) Bamboo Shrimp (a/k/a Wood Shrimp) but one seems to have gone

Uh oh.. You'll soon have dozens!!! Our guppies have calmed down a bit because main female died but won't be long till one takes her place. guppy soup!!
The main overpopulation issue is snails

Sadly one of the great counters to snails.. Fish like clown loaches or yo-yo loaches are also a threat to shrimpsThe main overpopulation issue is snails
Yeah. My local aquatic shop has been pretty good with these things. Drop them off some spare Snails/Guppies and they slip me a few shrimp or plants.
Tank is settling in now and water is clearing. Some fluffy fungus on the new wood but that is harmless to shrimp/fish/water and good food for the Pleco Catfish (I have a Bristle Nose Pleco aka BNP) so not too worried.
Am feeding the plants with a CO2 supplement for the new plants and have got some plant media under the gravel already.
Still at least away from shrimp/fish but am very happy. It is the first 'posh tank' I have ever had so am a bit fussy with it all. Am still planning a few more plants but want the tank to be uncluttered for the residents.
AA battery on top for scale.

Wood or Bamboo Shrimp (Atyopsis moluccensis)
Have had it for jsut over a year now. This is his third tank now and it was about half an inch long when I got it. Now I reckon a bit over two inches long so a full on Mr Big Shrimp (MBS) or as the kids might say 'a proper unit'
This is him shedding his skin in March 2019

All aboard the 303 bus.
I have some friends who were trying to rehome on recently, if you want me to ask if its still going?
But no, you can't rehome them with other fish, they eat them.
Cheers mate. Will pass as I don't want anything gobbling up my ecosystem
