Thinning out a breeder

[Havey]

This is a cory breeding tank that I let overgrow with Hygrophilia, java moss, and duckweed.

The plants keep the nutrients down on the water is crystal clear.
The tank has 2 species of cory, 4 different pleco, and an out of control population of shrimp.

I was trimmin the weed.






Tank was a little cloudy after ripping out the weed.

L201 Baby(5 in the tank) and L-67. Hadn't seen these with all the plants.

Why can't I erase my own photos to edit?

dude that tank rules!! what lighting do you use??? I need some duckweed and such to help my water condition too! Awesome tank again!!

PS if u dont like the shrimp, sell em on here or around your LFS for whatever u can get, or just get another tank setup u can feed the shrimp to.

No worries. I didn't mean to attach the two of the plecos and was going to switch one out.

DON"T ADD DUCKWEED. You'll never get rid of it. I use Hygrophila to keep the nutrients down and Java moss plus some others for the spawning and rearing.

The lighting is 1 96 watt sub compact. The other bulb burned out.

I like the shrimp tank but they have over populated. They are great scavengers and i like the looks of the cherry Reds and CRS. The shrimp get fed to cichlids some times, usually babies.

Thanks for the kind comments.

I should be doing a tank like this with a 18G once I have enough room. Whats the lighting?

It has a sub compact with two 96watt bulbs in it, but one is burned out. I really only ran it with one 96 anyway.

The crazy part is that the bulb is 12,000K. It was originally for a salt tank.
