Photo Gallery :: OT: My new shrimp breeding tank is done.

[Marcus.85]

I still have to add the filter and heater and java moss and riccia fluitans(and the red cherry shrimps of course!!!).
No driftwood tho! This is (supposed to be) an Iwagumi.
Suggestions you guys?
Thanks..

very cool, i like it a lot. if you have a floating plant (liek water hyacinth) you will catch them hanging upside down fom the roots. its kind ofcool

I added some more plants. However i just realized the stones are too small for this tank! I could have put much bigger ones in there.
Look at this vid:

what's an ender/guppy hybrid?

[Marcus.85]

what's an ender/guppy hybrid?

Guppies are Poecilia reticulata while Endlers are Poecilia wingei, they can interbreed with one another. Endlers are much smaller and quieter, therefore hybrids can coexist with shrimps, while a pureblood guppy might feed on shrimp frys or harass the adults carrying eggs..

endlers are really cool, i have a strain of guppies im actually developing, started as a green cobra guppy. i have around 40-50 fry/juvies in a tank so we shall see what happens
