Start of my First Shrimp Tank

[Skoomakilla]

Let's just say I was big by the shrimp bug.
Just set up last Friday is my new 20g.
That little light is the only thing I had on hand.

So I took out the Gold fish and added in some guppies. There are a couple pond snails and otos in there too now. I also put in another sponge which is a lot bigger. Two pieces of driftwood were added also along with some moss and hornwort. There's some riccia and duckweed too.

Day... someday... haha
I decided to take out the hornwort because it was dropping leaves everywhere and just drove me crazy. Also I took out the guppies and added some sort of anubis in there.

Today I bought some Manzanita today. I tied one of the anubis to the branch and thought it would look nice there.

The manzanita was taken later because of issues with the driftwood. Its currently being soaked and will be put back in 2 weeks.

Nice looking setup! What species of Shrimp are you planning on adding?

Thanks guys. Its my first planted tank. I plan on keeping RCS for now but after that probably some other color variations.

I totally forgot about this thread and well I think its time for an update and a bunch of random other pictures i have.

New 40g Rimless that I can hopefully have up and running by the end of the week.
