My Shrimp setup.

[Tikiman]

First of all. My name is Steven, I'm new to the aquarium hobby. These little buggers caught my eye in the fish stores man are they amazing. I quickly did my research on everything about aquarium care. I didn't know it was complex. When i was young i had a few fish but i didn't know about dechlorinater and stuff i just added tap water 0_0. . Another site that i go to is Plantedtank.com.

I hope i get higher grade shrimps in the future, Im sorry for the picture quality it is a really really old camera model(not SLR).

I tried my best to get good quality photos.

Setup:

Name: Vampire's Lair

Aquarium: 20"x10"x12

Light: 2 x 11W

Filter: Eden 530

Substrate: Fluval Stratum

Fertilizer: None

CO2: None

Flora : 2x Anubias, Java Moss, Triangle moss, fissiden that i have attached to the wood.

Fauna: Cherry Shrimps, Crystal Red Shrimps, Amano Shrimps, African Filter Shrimps x 2.

It is a shrimp. Vampire Shrimp – Atya gabonensis aka Giant African Filter Shrimp.

Peaceful shrimp similar to the bamboo shrimp.

Meanies.
