Re: 12inch nano shrimp tank

I like the scape, but I'm finding it difficult to see the shrimp against the substrate. Will look great with a carpet of some type!

Re: 12inch nano shrimp tank

Decided to go buy some HC from lfs, Tropica pot. 1 pot managed area needed. Hopefully it settles and takes off.

Comments/ Thoughts welcome.

Re: 12inch nano shrimp tank

I like it, the rock is interesting. As was said above though with regards to seeing the shrimp i'd have gone with a darker substrate. Once the carpets filled in though im sure it will look ace!

Re: 12inch nano shrimp tank

Why is my rotala growing across the substrate and not up?

Re: 12inch nano shrimp tank

Hi Chilled,

Mine did exactly the same, it often does and it's normally down to good light, don't worry yourself to much about it, it will creep along the substrate for a while then grow upright as you want it to, once mine started to grow upright it grew really compact and bushy....... it looks like it's coming along nicely!!
