Then it should be stable enough... just that they dont do so well in newer / fresher systems..
 
Tanks are looking sweet guys!

Fat Homer Fat Homer I set up a 5.5l crystal black tank lol, what do you think? Have had 4 of them living in it for a few months now, no filter; relies on plant biomass basically. The holy grail is to see if I can get them to breed in it lol.IMG_20170605_215115.jpg
 
He's alive! That's a good looking walstad setup ;)

I received 60 plants from a local forum member, I did a rescape of my 70 and it's awesome! Doing root tabs and liquid co2 soon :D20170605_202014.jpg

Haha, I am alive now and again lol. Nice looking set-up mate, skills are coming on!

I've got a thin layer of substrate, not sure it qualifies as walstad; or maybe it does lol.

Thanks! got a load of free plants from a member of a local forum, 40 various java ferns, 11 bolbitis mostly as long as my forearm, some flame moss and a few crypts :D

If all filtration is natural it's close enough

Looks good!!!

I think as long as they are getting fed properly they should start breeding given parameters are stable and temperatures not too high (which in England shouldn't be a problem)...

If you still find them not breeding after say a month or more, then i would maybe consider adding a small clump of moss or something for the young shrimp to feel comfortable and maybe help the adults feel like breeding...
 
Everything is growing in well. The Rotala Macrandra already needs to be trimmed, and the Monte Carlo is almost completely filled in.

That's looking good! I'm going to be hand building a custom 32"x16"x16" tank with one of the best tank builders in the country. For only $35

Going to put my efforts and saving into that
