Re: 29 gallon shrimp tank journal
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.

Re: 29 gallon shrimp tank journal
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.

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

There favorite munchies, pear leaves.
The Shrimp Shack, whenever I mess with the tank they always go in this cave in the DW to hide.

Re: 29 gallon shrimp tank journal
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)
