Aloha all! I had a 5 gallon tank sitting around and after asking the Forum what I should do with it I was inspired to do ʻōpae ʻula, or Supershrimp. This will be a whole new experience for me, as they're brackish shrimp. I am intrigued by the simplicity of their tank habitat - no filter, no air bubbler, not much lighting and hardly any feeding. The lack of plants will also be strange, though I have read of a macro algae that can be used. The cycling takes quite a while - 4-6 weeks from what I've been reading. However, once it's up and running it's pretty much just watch the little guys swim about and pick at the rocks. I need to pick up a few more rocks (or break up the one I have since it is rather large), but this is pretty much all it will take. As you can see in the photo there's a 'mesh' on the left of the tank. This is a Fluval Spec (I believe) that I removed the false wall and filter from; the 'mesh' is to help disguise the filter. I'll probably stick lava rocks to the wall in that area just to help disguise it. It doesn't bother me that much, so we'll see if I just lazy out and leave it alone.- 24 replies
