aquariumlover10 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I am thinking about Turing my 2.5g into a Mexican dwarf orange Cray tank(only 1) and I was wondering if they would kill shrimp? Ian renoing my 10g and will have carib sea flora max and sand leftover, I want to make a second floor type thing for him, I saw a cray tank with steps that went up to a second story of the tank, it looked really cool, anyone think that could work? thanks, also it will be a month or two, still need to finish my 10g before I start.

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I think a custom designed tank would look really neat. Cpo don't "fly" too much, and walk just about anywhere. I find they love to climb on my moss, so perhaps a second level should go well. aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 yup, I'm think a plexiglass staircase and upper level with stirs covered in moss and top with crypts(will be abit like a pit with sand) they will eat shrimp food right?

aquariumlover10 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 this is sorta what I'm thinking of, exept would be under water and the platform would be larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 They'll eat just about anything. I haven't notice them eating my moss, but any prepared food and the occasional ramshorn will be eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariumlover10 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 ok cool, I'm thinking Java moss, anubias nana, Cryptocoryne, and marimos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 You could really do a lot with a cpo tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariumlover10 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 CPOs don't dig right? If they don't I want to put floramax under the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrymprdan Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 AQ 10, are you going to terrace your layout? I saw Java stairs on the side but wasn't sure if the crypt par a was going to be on a higher level made by a suction cup planter, terrace, or by mounding the substrate. I have a tank cycling now that has a few terraces made by driftwood. I just cut it flat at the bottom and siliconed it to the bottom and sides of the tank. I back filled with peat capped by a layer of Red Sea flora base. I will also use crypt parva somewhere in the layout. Was thinking of micro sword, dwarf sag, and crypt parva each on their own terrace.... We'll see. Just wondered how you will achieve that upper level.

aquariumlover10 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 it will be a second half floor made of acrylic, so theirs more area, and it allows for more plants oh I just thought about something, if I have the back left corner of the top cut out in a cresent shape thing, and put a sponge filter on the 1st floor back corner the bubbles would go up thru the second story and would be hidden in the bottom floor.
