Setting up a new planted aquarium in the office.
Gonna fill it with a few cherry shrimp after the ground cover takes root & I fill the rest up.
Will plant some bulbs then too.
Tips for planted tanks are welcome!
Yes, I’m asking for advice.
Please & thank you!

Yes I have fish and shrimp in other tanks who are fine, so I don’t need aquarium 101 stuff - this is a request for tips on planted tanks specifically.
I’m too new to do the Walstad method I think - but I’m open to being wrong about that.
I need it to be simple, not biome-making!

When I realized what had arrived, not wanting to disturb the dry sprouting seedlings in the planted tank, I hastily assembled the tank stand & attempted to arrange my spare #shrimptank
Scapy The Cat decided to “help”.
Thanks, buddy. You definitely helped me smile

Day 3/ #shrimptank
The hastily set up spare 20 gal tank is going to be drained now that the cherry shrimp are happy in the established 10 gal tank.
The 2nd 20 will be planted via dry start method w clover & emersive form aquarium plants.

Day 4/ #shrimptank 
A sad day of mourning for our longtime (since late December) Amano Shrimp known as Pequeño.
He was found in the front of the tank, no 2nd guessing when he died, since we saw him eating yesterday.
RIP Pequeño.

Day 4/ #shrimptank cont.
At least these clover ground cover plants seem to be doing great.
The baby tears still haven’t sprouted at all, but I won’t worry until we’re past day 14, since the package said they’d germinate between 7-14 days
The spare 20 will get only clover planted

Beautiful good morning from one of the cherry shrimp in the 10 gallon tank.
Tank mates include a crazy leopard guppy Polka (Dot) who needed his own tank because he won’t stop attacking his own reflection (& other guppies).
Polka fears the shrimp though for now.

Finally saw sprouting baby tears in the 20 gallon dry start tank!!

Meanwhile...
A shrimp has molted in the 10 gallon tank.
So far today only 2/6 of the shrimp in that tank have made themselves known.

More Baby Tears!

In the spare 20 gallon planted tank, we see some shriveling in the Amazon sword & in the S. repens.

Hopefully it will all recover.

Ooh!! Exciting, there are actually two shrimp shells, meaning two have molted in the 10 gallon #shrimptank !



Day 8/ #shrimptank
Hard to see without comparing yesterday to today, but the baby tears are really starting to fill in.
Sightings of the cherry shrimp all day peaked at 4 simultaneously.
The molted shells are being reclaimed, likely by the shrimp themselves. No sign of shell #1.

Day 9/ #shrimptank
I’ve spotted 5/6 cherry shrimp at once, all happily eating.
Note the white/light pink stripe down the vertebrae of some of these shrimp.
I read somewhere that was due to water changes/mineral content, so I added 1/4 of a Tums which the golden snail Tiny loved.

Day 10/ #shrimptank
Still have only spotted 5/6 cherry shrimp at one time.
Going on faith that Shrimpy (the 1 I’ve decided is always hiding, yes I know that’s not logical, don’t @ me regarding the probabilities of spotting my shrimp in these troubling times) is fine.
Baby tears!

A breeding set of 10 females & 5 males because it’s time to build a colony #shrimptank !
They will of course get here early. But now I have tons of plants & places for them to hide in the 10 gallon so they can be there w the first 6

That may be as tall as the clover
grows, so by that completely made up gauge, I’m transplanting some live plants & filling up the “spare” 20 gallon tank today!
Also, the 1st 20 gallon may also be ready to plant & fill.
Should I?
Check out the baby tears!

I don’t think the DOA in this batch was actually dead!! The one who seemed dead isn’t where they landed & nobody seemed large enough to drag a grown shrimp away from that spot.

I deliberately didn’t want to post only farewells & the past couple of days in the new shrimptank has seen some sad endings.
Our Gravid Ladymom didn’t make it, along with 3 others found around the tank.
I can only count up to 8 at a time now.

I saw one successful molted shell in the tank, floating around like a ghost.
Ghost *is* the shell
2 more of the fallen were scooped out & given their own spiraling send off into the ecosystem.

Another day, another spiral funeral for a dearly departed shrimp.
I think we’re down to 7 in that tank from the original 18.
Rather than dwell on sorrow, let’s see some shrimp cleaning stuff.

Names like Detect, Contain, Eradicate, Recover all seem way less cute than these shrimp deserve.
We already have Billie Shelliday (a blue mystery snail
