Just To Share My 2.8g Mini Forest Shrimp Tank

Sorry for the poor images...and poor deco of my tank

Will try to improve along the way, but I like to keep it with many plants and shades so the shrimps will feel comfy...

Average Temp of the tank is around 26-27.5, so I can only keep certain shrimps only.

oh. if you move your tank to a more shady area, i guess ur temperature will be lower.

Lols. It's very easy, just take some moss and and nanas to tie on nice driftwood, some java mosses here and there to let the shrimps hide and stem plants to maintain water cleanliness.
Good for the shrimps but not good for u for viewing... Haha. I have 20 shrimps but only get to see about 5 of them during non-feeding times.

Ya, I thought of that too. I'll think of another solution or upgrade to bigger tank soon, I hope!
But more headache if something dies in that mini forest....

You can try to make thing simpler for yourself. Just keep 1-2 small patches of mosses will do. Your shrimps can still be doing well with that. On the other hand, you can view and monitor your shrimps.

I saw US fissiden in your tank, does they turn brown ?
My guess is that they may need lower temperature.
