kristarockstar Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Well it's been a couple months since I decided to get back into the hobby on a small scale. With help from a few AA members: Lots of thanks to fishclubgirl, DanGofCalgary and Aguabonita for the shrimp, plants and/or snails. I also added a few more plants at a 2for1 riverfront sale. So it is a 10 gallon freshwater with a black painted back and black rocky substrate. It has a heater, HOB filter, air stone, thermometer and a florescent light and a LED light on a glass top. I have a bunch of different plants in there don't know all the names but there is java fern, amazon sword, java moss, crypts, banana plant and moss ball. Also a peice of reddish driftwood. As for creatures I have cherry shrimp from 4 different sources, and some were berried so I have some tiny babies hiding that I see every once in a while. The dark background and substrate has made them a really dark pretty red. I have a few apple snails (Pomacea diffusa aka Pomacea bridgesii or mystery snail) in blue, ivory and pink stripe. And a couple of asolene spixi that are yellow and brown stripe. I currently have a trio of male guppies in there too but I think I would like some white cloud minnows instead. Thanks for the help everyone! I shall read the post on aquarium photography to get some really good pics Edited January 7, 2011 by kristarockstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
