steel1212 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) Images aren't mine but that is a pic of the Cherry Shrimp, the "Sunset" Plant, and Boesmani Rainbow fish. I have 3 fish tanks. One is a 94 gallon corner tank with 2 very large pacu and a very large oscar and some tiger loaches. Not a whole lot of aquascaping goes on in that tank due to the fish. If they don't like where you put something they move it. So it basically has a pile of drift wood in the back so the tiger loaches can hang out. My living room upstairs has a 75 gallon community tank that centers around some very select rainbows. That tank always gets ohhhs and ahhhhs from people coming in the front door. It has all live plants and a variety of some rare fish. My favorite is my 30 gallon tank that sits in my office that I'm looking at right now as I type this. The main thing in this tank is 100+ cherry shrimp. These little guys roam around the tank picking at this and that and even breed quite well. The tank is packed full of plants centering around Hygrophilia Polysperma "sunset", yeah it has no common name that I'm aware of. This plant is very hard to find and can't be shipped but does quite well with high light output. I'm not very good with the camera or I would take some pics. I might try to get the missus to take some pics with here new camera though. It just relaxes me to sit and watch the little ecosystems as they do their thing. As a kid I had a 30 gallon in my grandparents house and I would sit and what it for hours it seems like.

You know they were panicking the day they looked on the pet shop tank and reading back-wards.. they see 'Feeder Goldfish.. .05' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDM Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Looks good Corey. It’s hard to go wrong with healthy plants and Rainbows. Here is my attempt. I've never tried the shrimp. I take it that the Rainbows don't bother them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
