I made the tank a shrimp only tank..inhabitants are 15 cherry red shrimp and a complete rescape using mostly mosses and some riccia..the beauty of this system is i can remove any part of the moss to trim down and put it back in the tank..pics coming as soon as photobucket lets me upload them

I finally got the shrimp breeding tank finished and got all the shrimp moved over so right now the tank is sitting empty with just plants in it. I am recieving my very first betta (Posideon) from Summer next week (thanks Summer) so i did a little rescaping for him..most of my palnts were foreground iand i figured he needed a few stem plants in there..i think he's going to be a very happy betta.
pics will come when i get it finished. I love this hobby..lol
