Hi Heir, Was looking for freshwater shrimps when I was still in New Zealand. I got as far as a LFS in Tauranga and at that time (2 years ago) they said they stopped selling them because it ain't popular, so I guess they are back at it. Anyways I keep some shrimps (30 in total) in my 180 L tank at the moment, some Crystal Red Shrimp, Ninja Shrimp and Glass Shrimp (I have just moved to Melbourne after my partner vetoed every decision I made). They basically eat anything you give them; algae, flakes, veges. They are great stuff and fun to watch. Good to hear that some people have them. I assumed that you bought some freshwater glass shrimps.

Opps, I am sorry about this. :oops: i didn't know that... y r they selling it in animates?

Looks fabulous!!!

Congrats... It's a great feeling...

hi everyone, just went back to animates to make sure i got all the plant names correct. Sorry alanmin, my mistake again, mystic is right, it is ambulia. Darn need to replant them again, was looking for short stem plants to put in front my my driftwood. Any suggestions?

oh actually not sure myself with plant names. bought it from animates, looks long enough when i googled so thought it would be that. heh.... my mistake

360 L tank housing 8 ottos, 8 neon tetras, 4 gouramis (one honey, one pearl, two dwarfs), 6 black widow, one brittlenose and one pleco. Filtration: Fluval 405 Injected CO2 with a reactor, 4 fluoro's 6500K and 2 8000K. Substrate: 7.5 kg of Dalton Aquamix (thanks to plantman's great suggestion, a lot cheaper too), one inch layer of white stones. Plants: Glosso, hairgrass, riccia, Rotala Indica, Hygrophila Diffomis, Red and Green Pine, E. Osiris, Vallisneria gigantea,Alternanthera roseafolia,Shinnersia ,java fern. Think that's about it.

Will do Brianemone once i get back from work Thanks guys. Cheers.

And thanks people for the glowing comment. Been trying to improve the tank and wanted to come on to ask u guys for advise but was just too shy... finally had the guts hehehe... maybe because of the lack of sleep last night and now since I need to go to work in 30 mins with 4 hours of sleep.

Ah yes alanmin, thanks for that, now I know the name of the plant was wondering what was it :oops: Shiuh: My tank is a 360 L tank, using 4 flouro with 6500 K and 2 flouros with 8000K. All together about 244 watt.

Yea I am hoping the alternanthera will go well after all those trimmings. They aren't very impressive at the moment. On the left, sorry still not very familiar with the plants I have. Shinneria=long green grass looking plants i thought they are ?Vallisneria? Corret me if i am wrong Cheers.

Just out of a good challenge can anyone suggest a nice and difficult plant to grow that might add colour to my very ZzZZZzzzZZzzzzZZZ tank. thanks a bunch 8)

Could not fall back to sleep tonight, hence decided to strip my tank and redo part of my tank. Before: After: I am no expert in planted tank so any suggestions how to improve the outlook of my tank would be greatly appreciated.

sounds like a good plan.. better be safe than sorry.
