my cherry tank

[gordonw]

This is my 6g long cherry shrimp tank with a few snails. I just got all the plants in put in there recently and im not dont yet, it isnt much of an aquascape so ill probably move around a few of the plants still. Just gotta let everything root in and the moss walls need to fill in over time, im considering dosing small amounts of ferts. Currently slightly over 2wpg of light which was making the hornwort grow like crazy so i took most of it out and put it in my 55g for now, hopefully the rest of the plants do just as well. The pics arent great cause i took them with my phone but i wanted to show my tank a little bit, so here it is.

nice set up and the lay out isnt bad at all. how many RCS are in there?

 

[gordonw]

theres about 11 or 12, ranging from tiny juvy to adult size

i started with a couple RCS in my 55g, switched those into the 6g i like the smaller tank a lot better. Easier to see the shrimps and easier to fill with plants, all the shrimp are pretty active.

i want some

 

[gordonw]

it looks like at least 1 is saddled, so when they colonize i may start selling them, unsure right now

That is a heck of a Marimo Ball!

Yeh, its pretty decent size and i hope it keeps growing as i plan to turn my 6g cherry farm into something like a 50g shrimp farm and that ball will move into the bigger tank - yeh i know 50g is a lot for shrimp, i like them

noob's question: the last picture where you see a little yellow "patch" behind the shrimp's head, is it after mating or before mating?
