That tank is stellar, I want to setup a planted tank now because of that picture

Could anyone please tell me how likely it would be that these Ameca Splendends would attack any shrimp if they were in the same tank?

I am experiencing a HA issue but the tank happens to have some shrimp in there would these Ameca Splendends brutalize the shrimp?

Thank you folks I do feel like I have come to the right place, I have made a few posts and any feedback I have received has been positive and helpful. The goal is to be as helpful as some of the others I have already encountered on here. Thanks again for the welcome and look forward to future interaction with you all:)

Wow sailfinja if I have to go that route I will definately contact you, I don't know much about Ameca Spendends other than the wikipedia version, I am not saying it is accurate but I fear for the cardinal tetras lol. I am hoping the SAE and maybe some shrimp will help tame the HA do any of you know if the shrimp will help with the HA or is that wishful thinking? Vallisneria plants are they the ones that look like giant blades of grass? I could definately use some more plants in the tank and would be interested.

no fertilizer or CO2, have cut the lighting down dramatically only a couple hours a day at best scared to go any less than that because the plants still need some light right? I did add 4 small siamese algae eaters today, tank is not overgrown with plants lightly planted I would say. Did not know if the addition of shrimp or anything else would help. I am hoping the Siamese Algae Eaters will start to get rid of some of it soon before I lose some plants.

I have a 90 gallon tank with some plants and kardinal tetras and neon tetras among them I have 3 powder blue gouramis and they are magnificient when the light catches them just right, now I have heard of some other types of gouramis and am curious as to whether they have the same sheen to them as well as some other fish that really stand out in the water that are safe to put in with them.

Hello, I am pretty new to keeping a tank and unfortunately I am experiencing a nasty attack of string and hair algae on my live plants, It is a 90 gallon tank I am hoping someone has a solution for the problem before it chokes out my plants I would prefer not to go with chemicals if possible, please what can I do?

Hello Everyone, Just navigating my way through the site trying to learn on the fly, I have a 90 gallon tank up and running and want to keep it communal and colorful, looking for a mix of shrimp, fish and plants that will all play nice but have never setup anything to complex. I have always been drawn to the beauty of a perfectly balanced ecosystem in a tank setup just right, so here is hoping I have come to the right place.
