May I ask what that little glass pot thingy is and where you got it from?

It's meant for growing plants separate from the other plants while still being in the same tank. I just throw a couple trimmings in each week, and in 3-4 weeks I end up with a ball of monte carlo the size of a baseball.

I got it off amazon for $11.

That's a tough decision... I don't know when I'll find these tetras again with how rare they are, and I can't buy both atm with how expensive they are.

How big is the tank you're working with??? Maybe just maybe you could use something like a floater box with very fine mesh to cover any small holes to keep the baby shrimp inside, then the tank can be mainly used to house the fish???

16 gallons. 24x14x11.

16 gallons. 24x14x11.

I guess as a temporary solution it would work, but in the long run, most likely will need 2 setups... unless you dont mind only having a shrimp in a floater box..,

I could probably make the 4 gallon a shrimp tank depending on if the Scarlet Badis keep murdering them.

Thank you. I just wanted to know what to type into the search bar to find it.

Very interesting creatures.

I picked up my plant food today, will see how things go.

Fat Homer convict360 I found someone selling Phenacogrammus aurantiacus. He still has 8 left, which is exactly how many I'm looking for. What are your experiences with these? Are they okay with shrimp? Size? Care? Temperament?

I wasn't familiar with the latin name, they look like congo tetra...which are mostly peaceful but will pick off shrimp out in the open

I decided against those since they get so big (for a tetra), and chose to get a couple schools of smaller species instead.

Even my glowlights savaged shrimp. Nothing is safe lol
