:thumbsup: I like the moss floor. Is that Java or Mini Moss?

[stmoo]

flooring is Java moss as for the DW is xmas moss.
now trying to breed CRS

[kross]

wow... very nice looking moss floor! :yes:
how long it took you to grow to that kind of thickness? :huh2:
btw, it looks more like singapore moss than java..... :thinking:

Hi,
it's really a nice breeding tank, although it won't be easy to catch the shrimps :D . But they will like it for sure. BTW, in a thick moss floor the adult shrimps won't try to hide in there and only the shrimplets will. So the shrimplets will find perhaps a bit more food and you see more of your adult and semiadult ones.

regards

Robert

it took me abt a mth to grow the moss floor, jus tied lots and lots of moss on the wire mesh. for java moss they grow very fast.

:p

[Walter]

beautiful moss floor i agree! did you use wire mess initially and let them grow? cause mine was like without mess and it looks like wild grass scattered all around lol :p

and yeah, beautiful shrimps as well! :)

[ahmiao]

was wondering how u prevent the filter from sucking the shrimplets?

[neop13]

where do you get this mesh? how many Liters and shrimps are in the Tank?

[rclover]

bro here is the info u guys want to know. :D

this is a so call low tech tank , which is maintance free.
no co2 at all. cos java moss are dam easy to grow as compare to Xmas moss on the DW ( wood )

tank - 1ft x 1ft x 1ft
filter - 5w ( not powerful to suck those shrimp in :joking: so dun worry..)
Lighting - 2x11w ( 7hr a day)
water change - sometime once a week or two- 20%
jus a few drop of liquid fer once a week

moss gound
java moss are tired on to wire mesh ( tired lots of them onto the mesh )
took a mth or so to grow them.

let the tank run for a mth till the moss ground grow thick enough then add the shrimp in.

i started the tank on this yr feb. recently jus at 100 CRS in to the tank .
so far so good. :joking:

[kross]

What is your tank's temperature? :D

[stmoo]

then tank temp is abt 26 to 28c.

my place is very windy, and some time i jus on 1 tube (11W ) and the small little pump dun give off much heat either.
