ctaylor3737 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I have a Deep Blue 4.5G Tank Equipment: Dual Sponge Filter, Clip On Finnex-R LED Light Substrate: Left over Eco-Complete Hard Scape: Driftwood Tree, Grass background Plants: Christmas Moss, Marisela Minuta, Fissiden Fontanus This is a very interesting tank, I will be posting pictures tonight of my tank. I started the tank 2 months ago with Blue Velvet Shrimp I had about 15 shrimp at the start. Right now I have 4 Berried shrimp and more babies than I can count in the tree. They seem to love browsing on the Fissiden Fontanus. I will have alot of babies soon as the mothers have thier young, they all seem to be healthy and thriving. More to come with pictures!

ctaylor3737 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Haven't updated in awhile. Have so many in there to count lol. I've started to cull these guys and selling off a few. Going to work on getting a better blue! Do the blue dreams come from carbons? Thought about trying to breed out the black -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I like the tree, care to share where you got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 In that case, let me sell you a few of my better blue splotched carbons. I can select some that hardly have any splotches at all, and it will give you a leg up in your selective breeding project. Haven't updated in awhile. Have so many in there to count lol.

ctaylor3737 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Blue velvets are doing good and coloring up,nice. The tree filled in also and needs a huge trimming. Amazing it grows faster in this tiny tank,than it does in my high tech,tank. I am wanting to get a smaller corner filter to get some extra space on that side.
