My 10g shrimp sanctuary

For the moss balls did u just tear um in half and burry them a bit?

More or less. I tore them open and kept them whole.

okay do you know if you tore them in half would they recover? They look great spread out on the ground.

I had some with pieces that broke off, and they (and the pieces) were fine, so I don't see why not. Yeah, I really like them as little grassy "hills" in the substrate. Good luck!

This dapper young gentleman is the newest member of the spa.

Wow! He's gorgeous!! Nice setup. Really pretty 'scaping. I love what you did with the Marimo ball, I'm gonna steal your idea, if you don't mind, for my new shrimp tank.

How are your Cardinals doing? I see them on your site...

They are alive, but not really breeding.

I still have a small colony with one female for sure. She was pregnant several month ago, but it was not babies. From that moment she has not be pregnant for some unclear reasons.

Well, I just sold off my whole colony. I'm a bit sad about it, but I'm looking forward to a new challenge. Either another type of shrimp, a pair of Rhinogobius, or maybe even starting over with a different group of blue pearls. We'll see.
I really enjoyed this tank and highly recommend a 10 gallon shrimp tank to anyone who hasn't kept them before.

How did your outdoor tubs fair?

Hey Gary! I have no idea! I'm going to take them down soon now that it's getting cold at night, and I'll see what I have. I'll let you know.

Well, we're at the end. Here's what the tank looks like tonight. This weekend I'll start a new thread for the new tank with its new residents!

Goodbye, Shrimp Sanctuary! You've been fun!
