A reduction! My tank is basically a "reduction" of things I really, really enjoy. When you're limited to just one it's basically going to be a min/max equation. If it had some white clouds I'd be happy too! I do enjoy everything in my tanks, but amanos, those are just fun little creatures. I think I'm one of the few that would be happy with just a tank of em. Even a massive one with a lot of em to see social interactions and stuff.

Even a massive one with a lot of em to see social interactions and I once saw a 125 gal aquarium filled just with Snowball shrimp (Neocaridina Palamata) and it was mind blowing how many there were. They harvest 100 shrimp a month to sell and that keeps the population on a very slight increase, in case they need more or less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 The planting has started! Going to order some plants today or tomorrow from garnelenmarkt.ch since they’ve got cheapish shipping. Any ideas? I’m quite tempted by some Lilaeopsis and some pearlweed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an army until the water company decided to fight then off. 😞 I lost a few. I am trying to grow an amano as gigantic as pecktec has his, definitely not an easy challenge.

Theplatymaster Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 @TheSwissAquarist probably the cheapest option is buying 20, then working really hard and breeding them, but if you are on a time is money schedule that doesnt save money.
