Blodige Nora! - another one! Welcome, GDK.
I like the rain-bar, too.
What's the blue thing next to the thermometer in your last pic - ah! I think I've got it now - your CO2 diffuser?

Welcome to the forum George.
I don't think the shrimp are Amano, either one of the striped neocaradinas or "ghost" shrimp that have nasty pincers to catch unsuspecting other shrimp and small fish, but I can't make out whether they have the pincers or not in the pics.

Thanks everyone for your replies
@"LadyDay" Yeah i think danes love being keyboard warriors
@"Vale!" yeah that is the temporary diffuser until i find time to buy one or make a better one
Last night i saw the neon tetras sleeping for the first time . Usually i go to sleep when i turn off the light around 22:00 but last night i was up late and found out that they twitch when they sleep so maybe they dream?
They turn off their colors at night , it was weird seeing them almost 100% transparent
I am thinking of doubling up on creatures , 10 more tetras , 5 shrimp and 2 catfish . Do you guys think that would be overstocked in a 54l tank ?
Also here is a picture of 2 sleeping tetras

Its funny watching fish sleep my OH freaked out first time she seen it as she didnt realise they slept and all our platys were just lying still on the bottom on dark morning, she panicked a little
What is your current stock and dimensions of the tank? It may help with working out stocking levels

I would only have a maximum of 12 neons in a 54l tank.
I would have a couple more corys though, they like groups or 5+ really.

Thank you all again for the warm welcome
Considering all the research I've done lately i probably will stick with 12 tetras , most places say 1 per gallon is ok but considering there are other critters in there as well i really don't want to upset the balance . I want this tank to be as stable as possible so i can learn as much as possible .
The plan right now is when i outgrow this tank in a few months ill tear it apart and move everything to a 100l one so the tetra squad can keep growing and the 54 will be aquascape practice until i finish my design for it ( brace yourself this will be incredible if i can pull it off )
The design is basically a recreation of Mordor with the tower of sauron in the middle , everything adapted and to scale so of course ill have to find models and patterns , molds and probably lots of superglue , hidden filtration etc so the build will take a while .
Mordor will host a single black and red male betta
I know it sounds like a very ambitious build but im 90% sure i have the skill to do it .
Let me know if anyone else has done something like that , i could use some knowledge on plants and materials .
