remember that the Crystals like slightly acidic water. You're going to have to tweek those perams a bit or possibly expect to loose a few more. The cherries will love the tank as it is and will flourish.

BTW... did I tell you that I new sell shrimp food?

Update! I rescaped it alittle. Moss is coming in nicely, hygro is getting bushy, lily is kinda dying, I had to trim off some dead leaves. Elodea is fine. Hrmph. I moved all the anubius onto the long branch.

Image

This took forever to do.

Here's a nice mature female. The shrimp are maturing FAST. I have about 5 that have nice big saddles, and some nice males. Very happy with them. Definately will order from epicfish again :) Image

There favorite munchies, pear leaves. Image

The Shrimp Shack, whenever I mess with the tank they always go in this cave in the DW to hide. Image

If you didn't notice I had to stick the stick under the filter intake in order for it to stay down, and its siliconed to stone buried in the sand lol

Thanks!

In case you didn't realize, but I took out the long branch with the anubius and the hygro, I have a small one growing but I just thought it was too much. I need the branch for my new 10 gallon. (ssssh)
