are you going to add any kind of fish and/or aquatic inverts? also what made those marks on the glass in the picture second from the bottom?

I'm not sure about fish since they would probabky end up eating the baby shrimp. Lol, humidity condenses on the glass and the nerite snails make tracks out if the water to the top.

It looks awesome! I've never seen colors like that (mixed green/brown) before, I'm curious if he'll stay like that.

I don't think that theres enough water for them. He has the tank divided, so that leaves only 5 gallons available to be water, plus the water doesn't go all the way to the top, so it's only about 2.5-3 gallons.

Thanks! The moss has been there for a while but I think there is too much moisture or it's too hot for to grow. I'm going to raise the lights up a bit to see if that helps with humidity or not.

Thanks! Yeah, I wasn't sure what color he was. I'm thinking he's going to be green because of his legs and I think green is a dominant color. I could be wrong though.

I wouldn't put Cardinal Tetras in there but maybe a small fish or something. I have guppy fry in there as a growout but that's just it. The shrimp will probably be moved to a different tank as I'd like them to breed but so far the RCS haven't been breeding much.

Yeah, I think there are only 4 gallons. I zig-zagged it as much as I can to make more water room.

Looks great, Chris!

Thanks jbradt! My CPs died from neglect. I think I'm going to start putting some CPs in this tank when the weather gets warmer.
