  1. I've seen my ones go and grab live daphnia out of the water column. Thanks for the reply!
  2. Thanks for the reply: I think I'll give it a go then, I know Cory is a firm believer in the shrimp and fish with loads of plants set up, and judging by a lot of his videos, he's doing quite well. I've seen him breed them with livebearers, which have bigger mouths than ember tetras. I think as long as I have enough plants, I should be ok. I plan on having a rock pile covered in moss like Lucas Bretz and a massive mass of limnophila sessiflora. Thanks again for the reply. Jake
  3. Some anubias would look awesome nestled in that bit were the two branches come out!
  4. That is a tight piece of wood, that tank is gonna be awesome.
  5. Hi there, I'm new to the forum but I've been following the YouTube for a while now. Recently I set up a Walstad style bowl with red cherry shrimp and they have recently bred. It's set me on a shrimp kick and made me want to turn my 29G into a shrimp tank. At the moment I have just a community with some 3 Vampire shrimp and 4 amanos, with ember tetras, cardinal tetras, platies, corys, stiphodon gobies and hillstream loaches. I've had my community tank set up for a few years now and would like to change it up a bit. However, I really would like to keep my hillstream loaches, stiphodon gobies and ember tetras. From what I've heard, hillstream loaches are pretty safe. I'm not worried about getting a 100% shrimplet survival rate at all, but shrimp are super expensive over here (like £6 a pop ≈ $8.32) and I would be really interested in seeing some babies make it. Believe it or not I used to have 6 dwarf chain loaches with adult cherries, and they never bothered them, then when I pulled out a huge clump of Pogostemon Stellatus Octopus, there were probably about 10 juvenile cherries that had made it! So, what's your opinion on Stiphodon Gobies, Hillstream Loaches, and Ember Tetras with dwarf shrimp? My tank is always full of plants and there will be loads of cover, my gobies and loaches stick to surfing on the back wall and scouring rocks for biofilm, I've never seen them actually venture into the masses of plants so I think they'd be plenty of cover for the baby shrimp. Right now they don't even acknowledge the amanos's existence so I'm sure they'd leave the adult cherries alone. Thanks in advance! Jake
