Wanted a bigger planted tank after running smaller ones for years, something with room for a real hardscape. Spiderwood and malaysian driftwood anchor it, dwarf hairgrass and monte carlo carpeting in. Neon tetras and crystal red shrimp fill out the rest, ph steady around 6.8.
Not much to report, work's been eating all my time so tank maintenance was basically just feeding and a quick top off. Shrimp seem fine, saw a couple crystal reds out on the driftwood grazing. Water params I haven't even checked in over a week honestly.
Hairgrass finally spreading, monte carlo catching up.

Aria GarciaQuestionGuppies breeding at all in there or are the shrimp keeping the fry population in check
Same as above, that's not one of mine. I've just got the betta and blue bolt shrimp in the 10 gallon
Guppies look happy weaving through the hairgrass. Any luck keeping the shrimp population up with them in there?
Not my tank actually, I only run the 10g betta setup. No crystal reds or guppies here
Hannah LopezQuestionYour dwarf hairgrass carpet looks really even - do the guppies bother it at all or leave it alone?
Maya ReyesQuestionwent through this myself a while back. did cutting the photoperiod actually sort it or did you end up dosing something too?
