i have a 3-4 gal (10-15l) octogonal aquarium reserved for shrimps and snails only, but i don't have any recent photos of it, so here are the old shots of shrimps

That 6th pic...is that a time delay..or just a mirror or something.???

[rich311k]

Wonderful tank!

[Mordechaj]

it's a big mirror on the wall behind the aquarium. (and a reason why i haven't put a black backround on the tank yet)

thanks for replies.

[DAVIDFBT]

Welcome to AC! That's a really nice tank you have! Is that Riccia floating at the top of your aquarium?

[Mordechaj]

yes it is.

i don't use any kind of CO2 system, and have only 2 lamps under the lid, so i can't have it grounded.
and i only treat water with easy-life products (shown to be best what i can get here).
so i use FFM to treat tap water, and pro-fito to nourish the plants.
i don't clean the gravel*, because i can never see fish poop on my gravel, but i don't have problems with NO2- or NO3- either. (tetratex EX700 with additional symbiont filter material helps i'd guess :P)

*i'm not reccomending to other people to do the same. i'm just saying that i don't have problems because of it, but i always take care not to overfeed my fish.
