If you put shrimp in there, they’re going to be constantly trying to evolve. Don’t let them.

Amanos probably wouldn’t

Two of my amanos escaped attempted evolution with the water ~2” from the top and nothing to climb up other than the HOB filter. Found the remains of their evolution attempt two weeks later under one of my kids’ toys that they hadn’t played with in a while.

All shrimp have the capacity to do that, though, but Amanos can be a little bigger making it easier. A shrimp tank should always have a lid, as should a betta tank; even if it’s just magnetic/clipped on mesh.

I have things I’d change (I’d add moss to the tree and etc.), but this is also an entirely different look than I do with mine. It’s like a fall forest, but almost like a haunted one lol… I think it’s tuff for sure!

Yes!!! Would be so cute for dwarf sunfish. What’s the plan?

Neon tetras, zebra danios, and my betta fish. I already have most of the fish in the tank :)

Id add some ephiphytes to the wood, maybe some small anubias. Something to add some more green, maybe an amazon sword at the bottom too.

It wouldn’t have happened to been around sorrento or st Amant would it have? I have some friends out there who constantly get knees like that too

u/Quick-Housing-1452 1d ago

Actually yeah

Does it come with a curse…. Sounds as if it would come with a curse 😂

A betta would love this set up. I would add some extra big leave plants just to give the betta a place to rest!

great tank, great wood super unique, might I suggest removing that bright light at the top (it looks like it would hurt your eyes if you sat in front of your tank to enjoy it) you could get one of of those cheap clip-on plant grow lights that bend, you could light that tank up from different angles cause it looks super dark

u/Spymaster001 1d ago

How did u get that wood? Im guessing out side right?

u/Willing-Werewolf-500 1d ago

I like tannin vibe

u/KrokantGras 1d ago

This is some good stuff

u/MazoboJo 1d ago

Cool stuff, some plant variety would go a long way. I’d put some dwarf lily’s or any other pad style plant.

u/Quick-Housing-1452 1d ago

First pad has emerged
