Patrick_G Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I’ve had my 75g set up for two weeks as of yesterday. Plants: Most everything is growing well. I think the Pearl weed on the very bottom is struggling and needs more light. The background stem plants have 1”-2” growth but the Lower section of Bacopa is melting or something. Stocking: started with pre cycled media Day two: I added six Cherry Barbs and two Guppies. Day seven: 14 wild type Cherry Shrimp Day ten: two jumbo Amano Shrimp. Day 12: three jumbo Amano Shrimp, four Otocinclus and three guppies. The Cherry shrimp started breeding behavior right away and I’m surprised and delighted to have fry in the tank! I think five have a good chance of survival. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac M Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 @Patrick_G I love the colors! Is that crypt pink flamingo at the bottom? It looks stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) It’s Tiger Lotus. It was really bright when I bought it and has stayed that way. I hope trimming keeps it small. Edited May 4, 2021 by Patrick_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac M Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Oh wow, it looks so compact I thought it was a crypt 😂 trimming it definitely keeps it short, anytime I have trimmed a dwarf aquarium lilly or a red tiger lotus, it takes a long time for them to reach the surface again. I am not sure about the actual leaf size though. Either way that red tiger lotus is a beauty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 If it gets out of control I think I’ll try an AR mini in the same spot. I still want some Pink Flamingo but $25 is pretty steep for one plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac M Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 AR mini is a great choice. Yeah, pink flamingo does not come cheap haha i think some hygro pinnatifida would look great in there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
