My eight 12l tanks with different coloured shrimp.

@Ratvan suggested I post pics of my 12l blue shrimp tank, and over the break I have had time to tidy up all eight of them, so here they are. Not properly grown in yet obviously. In order, orange, blue, yellow, red rili, green, black. The orange and the black aren't breeding terribly true and a few weeks ago on I made the mistake of swapping some Hornwort from one tank to another, so there are a few outliers in one or two tanks 🙂. I'm really happy with them though. The last two tanks are empty and I am looking at white and orange rili, but I haven't decided yet. There's seed shrimp and moina in most of them too.

They are 20cm by 30cm by 20cm high and I have them with the short side facing. They each have a 5v light and 5v heater and a sponge filter and are connected with 32mm waste pipe siphons. There is a sump at the back, currently a 5l water bottle that I am upgrading to a 60cm X 15cm tank when I can afford it. There's a little pump in there that cycles very slowly, as fast as the siphons can accommodate.
 
@Chez_ What brand are those little heaters? Are they good? I am thinking about one for my son's tank!
 
Tanks look amazing mate. Love wee shrimp tanks and wish I could have a few more.

Are they siphons or are they overflows? I only ask because in the event of a pump failure you could end up with a flood. I’m sure you’ve got it covered but just in case!
