    I managed to find some neocaridina cherry shrimp that I didn't know I had. So why not set up a new tank for them. I'm using dragon stone and a crushed lava rock gravel substrate which should work really well.

      No, taste is subjective.

      Neither.

    I love to place different types, textures and colors of rocks together. Same goes with driftwood. You can definitely overdo it if nothing looks the same, but I figure if you've either got enough parallel lines and/or maintain the golden ratio, then the scape is fine with a hardscape made from multiple materials.

    Wow, I've been raising shrimp for two years, including a 200 colony of cherries, and I can't believe you didn't cycle or drip acclimate like everyone says you have to! And most experts say shrimp need a "mature" tank for several months. I disagree with that, took two months for all of my tanks, but just wow...beautiful tank! I'm getting some blue and carbon rilis in a week and I'm seriously thinking about doing a setup like this! I will run a sponge filter, because I'll have some chili rasboras in there (10g), but still.....shocked and amazed!

    How do you clean the poop out with all the plants there? Do you not vacuum the substrate where the plants are?

    I'm new to your channel and love what I've seen, your videos are great! I might have missed it, and I realise it ain't really your scene, but I'd love to see what you can do with artificial plants. Would be great for those of us that arent ready for live plants yet!
