Jumping in with Crystals

[convict360]

I got some crystal red shrimp the other day! Currently keeping 5 in my 2.5 gallon cube lol, but if they do well; I definitely plan to upgrade slightly.

Anyway, I took some video of them foraging about

ammonia: 0

Nice shrimp!!! Just make sure to give them some calcium rich foods to help them with molting...

Awesome looking shrimp, they remind me of SW species with the colors.

Nice! That's 10 litres as well isn't it? Can you give me some hints and tips?

Currently the temp is probs between 16-18°c, the plants are Java trident, and moss then some Anubias petite glued on the wood

Very cool looking setup. What specie of Rasbora are those with the Crystal Shrimp?
