Channelling my inner Filipe - Christmas Corys

Fantastic, your big male ram doesn’t eat the shrimps?

Yeah my male and female rams do eat quite a few shrimp, they are much better at hunting now. I think the reason they don't eat too many is because they do most on their hunting in the dwarf hairgrass. I don't have a massive carpet so i guess it limits the amount of shrimp that hide in there and that can be hunted. In open areas the shrimp are much faster and easily get away.

Hello people, It's been a couple of years since I've lurked around here since I broke down my scape and put things in to storage.

But yesterday had the random urge to set my tank up again, not sure what brought it on, probably an Aquarium Gardens video 🤣 so knowing me, I'm not sure how long I can put off this "itch", it's either put it off for another year or two, or get a new scape going before Christmas, there's no inbetween 🤣.

During my time away it was really sad and shocking to hear of Filipe passing, especially as I based my first ever aquascape around one of his. The reality is I know f*** all about aquascaping and just watched his tutorial video like a 100 times before attempting it, and it worked out well.

Regarding my next scape, if it happens, I'm thinking a triangular island style, I've always loved the clean and angular aesthetic, also I don't want a tank rammed full of plants this time! 😀 I don't have many photos of scape in it's last days, but I'll leave you with these:
