Hi,
Am in London se11. Have had a tank for about 8 years, only started taking it seriously about 2 years ago when I started aquascaping and breeding shrimp.
Tank is Fluval Roma 125l. Filtration is a sera external with uv light, heater is the Fluval 150w that came with the tank, lighting is 2x25w t8s that came with tank plus a pair of arcadia t5s I've glued to the hood. Co2 is d-d disposable canister set. Also have an airstone running 24/7. Substrate is a mix of various gravel, red river sand, Ada amazonia on top.
Fauna:
About 20 boraras brigittae and a couple of phoenix
1 lonely sudandanio axelrodi (survivor of original 6, struggling to find replacements anywhere)
10 pygmy cories
3 oto affinis
1 zebra oto
Less than 10 crystal red shrimp (about A grade)
Loads of cherries (most getting up to around fire red now along with some sakura)
Handful of assassin snails
Flora:
Cyperus helferi
Valis nana
Narrow leaf java fern
Anubias nana petite
Dwarf hairgrass
Pogestemon helferi (getting eaten by shrimp)
HC (struggling)
Pellia (sub-w)
Weeping moss
Taiwan moss
Peacock moss
Common moss
Us fissidens
I usually sell shrimp and moss cuttings to local LFS but in a few months may be up for swap/sale here if done locally (for shrimp at least).
