Barely touch this one besides a weekly top off and the occasional trim. Cherry shrimp and danios seem fine being left alone.

day 130

Swapped the heater out for the fluval e200 and somehow made it more complicated than it needed to be. Cord was too short for where the outlet is so I ended up rearranging half the stand just to make it fit.

Not much going on, just noticed the shrimp have been hanging out on the same piece of moss for days now.

Jasmine MurphySep 19Question

Celestial pearl danios in a 75 sounds tiny but cool, do they even use the whole tank or just hang out in one spot lol

Aria GarciaSep 12Question

Danios and cherry shrimp look good together in there. Seeing any shrimp holding eggs or is it too early to tell

Tank owner replied

Not this tank, this is the CPDs and cherry shrimp in Jade Bend. Haven't spotted any berried shrimp yet, still keeping an eye out lol

Jess FosterSep 2Question

started as a shrimp tank and turned into this? love that. how are the CPDs doing with co2 running, any issues with them being skittish

Tank owner replied

No CO2 running in this one actually, just keeping it simple. CPDs aren't skittish at all, they just kind of ignore me and do their thing

SSantiago PhamAug 15Question

Celestial pearl danios and shrimp together in 75g sounds like a great combo. Controsoil holding up well after all this time or are you topping it off?

Tank owner replied

Controsoil's held up fine so far, haven't had to top it off. Still looks the same as when I put it in

Skyler RodriguezAug 11Question

In-tank for me, never got around to plumbing an inline one. Does it clog up fast with that fine of a substrate?

Tank owner replied

No clogging issues so far, filter's been fine with it. Guess it helps that I'm not blasting flow through there

The crypts and pinnatifida mix looks great with the danios darting through. Shrimp tank that got out of hand is basically the origin story for every good scape isnt it
