I am so happy with my tank right now, so I thought I'd share. I've had some ups and downs, but now the tank is 8 months old and has stabilized a lot. Everything is blooming.

Specs

  • 10 Gallon
  • Light: ADA Aquasky 451
  • Eheim 150 canister filter
  • Eco-Complete fine grain planted substrate
  • Dosing with API C02 booster + API Leaf Zone + DIY root tabs

Plants

  • Limnophila Aromatica
  • Bacopa Monnieri
  • Eleocharis sp. "Minima" aka dwarf hair grass
  • Hemianthus micranthemoides (Kind of want my entire tank just this because the colour is so gorgeous)

Inhabitants

  • ~40-50 fire red shrimp of various grades; I'm looking out for even more red ones.

seen some at big al's in edmonton, they are super red.

personally i would stick with high quality Painted Fire Red or Fire Red; they are much more consistent and stable. It depends on your source but quality of Bloody Mary offspring vary greatly.. high percentage of them are not solid like their parents so they are not really what i would call a stable line yet.
