You can improve the reddness of your cherry by feeding them with Mosura CRS food, I made my cherry look like sakura after 3 weeks of feeding. :)

Hi Cherry Bean, thanks for the information, is it really that Mosura food can improve the redness, than I should try it. Thanks.

Hi everyone, my cherry shrimps are fighting over the food.

I have replaced the food for my cherry shrimps. This food was recommended by members here. The name of food "Mosura" many heard of it. When I feed them this new food suddenly all came and fighting over the food like very greedy. They don't look gentlemen, look at them here. Haha great.

Regards,
Alfred.

Looks like a fun tank to me.

My only tips would be to change the big stones so they are 1 type and try to grow a more luch vegetation. But perhaps for the latter you would have to provide more light and C02, which complicated things of course.
With the java fern and anubias you have now, the tank will just run on quietly. In my low-tech tanks, the Limnophila like you have in the back of your tank does not grow that fantastic. The result is also like in your tank that they do not make a thick bush in the background, a feature which makes the high-tech planted tanks so beautiful.
In fact, the bare background is perhaps the biggest down-side of your tank.
I like the wood, the build-up of the plants and the gravel. Some nice screens/bushes of Hygrophila, Althernanthera, Cabomba etc. could improve the view a lot in my opnion.

Hi Mat,

Thanks for your suggestion, I also have that feeling to have the stone removed (left side piece). I will look for stem plants to fill the background and other plants like Cabomba, Rotala Indica, Chain sword to replace the rock area. Hopefully will change the concept that looks better than present view. Still prefer to have it as a low-tech planted tank without applying Co2 injection yet. Cheers.
