New Shrimp tank scape

I moved the Yellows CS to a larger tank. Hopefully they will like it enough to give me some shrimplets lol

Took about 10min to set it up

Very nice aquarium set up again.

I am glad you pointed out the time to set up, as often many persons get an aquarium or those who already have one get out of the hobby as they think or make it too much work.
From my experience, keeping a nice aquarium should not take too much time out of our often busy lives.

Now the costs of keeping a healthy aquarium is another story though, as I have seen many in my years of making house calls or answering email who have heave attempted to keep an aquarium on the "cheap" and this can often result in problems.

Thanks again for sharing your expertise

Nice. Is there anything you do special for these shrimp tanks? Having higher levels of GH and a established nitrogen cycle is what I've heard to have success with shrimp keeping.

I personally do not do anything different. I only test PH/Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate, and not usually very often (unless there has been an issue to make me think I need to test). While I haven't done it with the yellow cherry shrimp, I have cycled a tank with red cherry shrimp. They tend to be quite hardy, and believe me if they are dying something is really wrong with a tank
