Fr499y shrimp tank 🦐

[fr499y]

I find myself enjoying the more basic, natural, low tech aquariums more and more. So i've decided to convert the nano into a Poecilia Wingei biotope.
I already have most of the hardscape ( apart from a few thin branches ) and nearly all of the current flora is a perfect fit.

Equipment
24" x 8" x 8" Aquarium
50w Eheim heater
Hydor Prime 10 Filter - DIY filter pipes
DIY Lighting with Sunrise - Sunset control

Hardscape
Twigs - mainly birch, a few manzanita branches that i've cut up to use as the thicker fallen litter
Rounded rocks - only a couple as a base layer
River sand

Leaf Litter
Nano Cappata
Small Oak
Alder cones

Flora
Sagittaria Subula ( If i can locate it under all the crypts in the other tank! )
Vallisneria ( maybe, depends on how it looks )

Fauna
Poecilia Wingei

I'm looking forward to some pics of this. Looks like it's going to.be different from what I've seen about.

I suppose its sounds more impressive than an Endlers tank ;o)

Did you used to be an estate agent?

[fr499y]

I agree, I agree, I agree! I'm up to around 20 fry from the original 6 males and 2 females ( lost 2 females early on )

Will you stop doing this!

I keep looking at the empty Juwel 60 litre upstairs, thinking maybe I should keep the last Endlers I have after all, then say to myself ...NO.

Do it!!!!

Here is the selection of chunky wood! Some broken up to form slimmer, broken branches and some left whole.
