This tank was sitting in between of the sitting room and guest room.

Hi minicooper, nice tank u have there. So have u add any shrimp in it yet? By the way, how big is your tank? Good work bro. Cheers

My tank size is

35" * 8" * 11" around 45L water

I got several Black Shrimps and one Guppy to cycle the tank. I m going to get several "Tester" CRS to re-test the water, then I will get some good stuff for it. Play safe man!!!!:joking:

[I shrimp]

Yo Minicooper, ya man u are right... But what do u intend to keep? High grade CRS or just normal CRS? So, what type of tester are u refering to? Wish u best of luck bro... If possible, i hope u can show more on your tank when its ready. Will like to see what is it like. Cheers....

[milt]

Wow! Really like the layout, its very zen, once the mosses start covering the bare ground, it will look really good, but make sure you keep the mosses only to a certain height and not overwhelm your hills.....lol

What do I intend to keep....haa haa don't know yet. I m thinking to have a mix species' tank. I m going to ask a local private breeder to give me some low grade red crs and some low grade golden or white crs. and see what will have with mixing the current black shrimps. I m thinking to order some Yellow shrimp or snow ball too.

[I shrimp]

Ha ha... Then it will be a all in one tank. Ha ha... Bro do post some photos here and share ok. Cant wait to see your set up. Cheers...

I am not aware of any low grade golden or white CRS, I tot all golden or white CRS are SS or above!!! lollol

[mr sandman]

I have a question, do suggest that my cousin in hong kong to buy CRS from shops on tung choi street or private breeders?

[minicooper]

I have a question, do suggest that my cousin in hong kong to buy CRS from shops on tung choi street or private breeders?


You mean ask ur cousin to buy the CRS for you? or he buy it for himself?

Am... I will recommed him to buy the shrimp from breeder. Price cheaper and knowing the gene pool of that shrimp .water condition..etc. -Assume u found a good private breeder not a private re-seller.

But for you i will recommed from Tung Choi st (Fish street)..
Reason.. can choose the right morph or pattern for you. mostly those shrimp will show the true morph in the stable tank and can hold it until the last moment to put it into the plastic bag with the pure O. If from the private breeder i don;t think they will have the Oxygen pump. Also is hard to make sure the true color of that shrimp once they put it into the plastic bag.

by the way..Can you read chinese?

[minicooper]

I am not aware of any low grade golden or white CRS, I tot all golden or white CRS are SS or above!!! lollol

Haa haa.. those low grade golden or white crs...

golden not looks like golden--those intensive golden powder like hv been wash out.. those are low grade golden..apply to white crs too...


many breeder will flush away those shrimp.....

I want to use those to breed some hybrids....:D

[lipchong]

Hi Minicooper, nice set up. So how many shrimps do u intent to put in? 50? or 100? Is there any close up pic to show. Good work..

WOW.... u sure have a nice tank there. I hope u can maintain it as it is. Dont add anymore plant or rock. Its already nice bro... Really nice set up. Some more its sitting inside the wall. Special and nice. Its the 1st time i see ppl keep shrimp in such tank. Most ppl will keep fish instead of shrimp. Good luck Bro.

[thief]

Hey Mini cooper, Remember me?:cheesy::D

As milt said very Zen. Looks really good. Whats plant you got in there? Also what kind of rock is that?

Anyways that tank is really amazing a hope to see the plants grow out and mature.

Thanks, I hope so......am...U think that i needless to add anymore moss in this tank.. coz there is only one species of moss-I want to add two species moss in it..maybe a little bit at the conner.

The reason is I can use the guest room's air-con to maintain the temp for this tank instead of using those chiller..more stable and safe $$$$

So bro. can I see your tank setting too? and where r u from....Sing,Malay,Indo,or Taiwan?

ANy thanks for viewing this thread!!

[milt]

Hi minicooper! Can you tell me what exactly is that old resident 1, is it a bumble bee or Black CRS or somethings else, its colour looks really interesting.... Also I would love to have your low grade white CRS anytime!!!!! It looks gorgeous even if it is low grade.......Sigh, some people are just so lucky....lol

[mr sandman]

by the way..Can you read chinese?

Yes I can read a bit of chinese and The shrimps are for my cousin's tank that we set up last summer and she wanted to try these shrimps becasue of its beauty.

That one ..I don;t know what it is.. I pick it up from local fish store..from a bee tank.. i saw it's body color was strange therefore i pick this one ..

those low grade crs was given by a local breeder.. he treated those as a low grade from his breeding tank.

[milt]

Interesting! If you can take a few more photos of that strange colour patterned shrimp and show it to us, it will be nice...... :D

Hi Minicooper, to add abit more of plant or moss in it its ok, i think. But dont over do it. It will look very untidy later if the plants or moss in your tank is not taken care. So i suggest dont add too much. Its how i feel. So its still up to u if u want to add more. Anyway, i m from sg. I dont really know alot about CRS. I m still learning as i keep them. I have attached some of my CRSs tank photo here. Not really clear. Dont mind ok. Ha ha.... But compare to your tank set up, mine is nothing. Its just a simple tank. Bro, Good luck to u. Hope that u can post more photo later.

[Kian]

woot lipch,you got nice shirmps.haha nice tank too=)

[minicooper]

WOW... nice shrimp, nice tank.. nice water too..very clear....:D

[lipchong]

Hi all.. Thanks for your compliment. I m actually doing up my new tank. Want to change my set up. I wan it to be as simple as possible. Then its easy to maintain and i can see all my shrimps when they hid. I will show you my new set up once it is done. Cheers guys...

[I shrimp]

Cool tank u have there. I like it clean and green. hee hee... great job there.

[rwong2k]

thank-you

Hi minicooper, very nice shrimp, just want to know whether the water parameters for both different shrimps are different and how you go about preparing the water for your sulawesi shrimp..... :)

[minicooper]

Hi minicooper, very nice shrimp, just want to know whether the water parameters for both different shrimps are different and how you go about preparing the water for your sulawesi shrimp..... :)

Actually my tank's ph is around 6.8 to 7.2 due to my setting--Rocks--

Those SS was from a PH 7.4 tank. therefore it is not too harsh for it to change to my tank! (that is what i think) don;t know whether my tank's GH and KH are fitting them or not!! I guess is okay for them to live in kind of setting.. don;t know whether it can breed or not. but at least they can :joking: in this tank!!! one thing want to share is. the 1st 2 days when I introduce it into this tank with a guppy breeder tank. they will stop moving and eating.. just sitting on the moss for whole day long without changing any post... like a statue!!!:D also the coloration of the shrimp will change from dark purple to light rose Red color. once they settle. they change back to darker color!!!during feeding period they do take the flakes but they won;t like those crs that aggressive.

[milt]

Wow! I still like the weird "bumblebee" shrimp that you have and in this new photo it looks really amazing, can anyone confirm what it is?? Also minicooper, what are those transparent shrimps that you have in the background? :)

[minicooper]

nice shrimp minicooper.


Not really:p....anyway thanks!!:D

that weird shrimp ,the store told me that is call bamboo shrimp....hope can breed some F1.

those transparent shrimps are the F1 from the black shell shrimp

[milt]

Ha ha minicooper, the bamboo shrimp is probably the wrong name as bamboo shrimp in international circle means a filter feeding freshwater shrimp which is way bigger than that wonderful shrimp you have got. Also there is no such thing as a black shell shrimp in the internet except for the delicious sea shrimp we eat during dinner!! :) Anyway they are probably local names, how I wish we can know the scientific name so that we can learn more about it... Hope you are successful to get F1 generation out of the "bamboo" shrimp. lol

haa haa. I know those are local chinese name..but u know bamboo in chinese there are also several way to name it.. for the sci name....need to ask some body!!
for the black shell shrimp.. i know mainly mean those yummy sea shrimps. I think i can search this sci name. coz this one is quite common in the aqua market.
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa50/minicooper_hk/CIMG2934.jpg this one is the mother of those transparent shrimp!

[Frank]

The black shrimp is really nice but I suppose they are the same as the well known blue shrimps with transparent offspring.
Could be a color variation of N. palmata.

[milt]

Thanks Frank for the identification! I always love the "black" shrimps as well and think they look really cool.....:)

Anyway Minicooper, how many of those "bumblebee/bamboo" shrimps have you got? Because　ｆｒｏｍ　ｗｈａｔ i read from your post, you only has one of its kind? How do you plan on getting a F1 generation from it? :)

Haa Haa....you are like a dectector...doo.doo:D... Acutally I have 4 of this kind of species now I bought the others afterwards..but they look a bit different to that one interms of color morph. Only that one would like to be my model...others...only can say hi to them once a while..:joking: well I would asked them to have a photo for you!!!dude.. Basically , I have introduce 3 different species in as a volunteer team for this tank in the very begining..:cool: -1.1x"bamboo stick"shrimp-that store named them.2. "8xblack shrimp" 3.5xBlue shrimp. After a month I move out all the black and blue shrimps' adult form and bring in the crs "tester" then SS recently. P.S Blue and Bamboo stick haven't carried any eggs in this tank though!!

[angelyoyo]

Wow, c grade is about 4 ~ 5$ is quite a difference compared to tw and vancouver,

in tw, it was $1 ~ $5 for S grade and in vancouver it's about $3 for B ~ A grade crs,

interesting, maybe when I'm in HK i won't be getting a deal =)

AWESOME tank!!
I love the simplicity of it! I'm from the US. I'm chinese though! :-)
Anyways I just started a 29 gal tank. Here it is something like 30"x12"16or18"
I'm just starting it. I have a few Red Cherry Shrimp for now to "test". What kind of moss do you have in your tank? How do you keep it down? Thanks!!

Thanks,
Can you read chinese?
you can use a small piece of tile or stone or wood etc..and tie up well on those media by using a very fine fishing line.

Those moss.. we name it as small triangle moss...:D

Hi all I'm kinda new to keeping shrimps, this is my latest set up with 5-1 shrimps (1 disapeared). The green pipes will be bundled together soon, in the mean time I'm just hoping these shrimps will survive b4 I add more

Hi Mr Mini Cooper...I was really impressed with your set up..=)

[minicooper]

discusdubai,skratikans.. Thanks for viewing.. I have been quite busy these days. I will update my tank's picture. Recently, HongKong's weather is very very hot.. can be reached to 34C in the afternoon. I have found some CRS:undecided...... . Blue bee is doing okay though and having the Blue Bee's Baby booming problem.!!:(. I already open another new tank for them. will shown later!:D

[JadeIceGreen]

Thanks for the update, looking forward to reading more of your fantastic tank.

Very nice mixed tank, i like those rocks. Very neat looking contrast with the substrate. What kind of moss are you using and do you have UV or injecting co2 in the tank?

[Broddan]

Very mixed tank. Great looking. Do all shrimps thrive in the same kind of water/temperature
