Maurice Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi all, Thought I would share some of my planted tanks over the last couple of years. Planted tanks and aquascaping has grown quite big in South Africa in the last 2 or so years. We are still way behind with shrimps, as it is a grey area. We are aloud to trade and sell shrimp in the country, but illegal to import, we only have the basics like crs, cbs, normal tigers and cherries.

DETAquarium Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Gorgeous aquascapes! You are venturing down the path I found myself. I started with aquascaping, but as time progressed and became quite limited, I backed down and began keeping and breeding shrimp. The joy they bring along with the limited time needed to help them thrive became a perfect match for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thanks all I find myself in exactly the same boat DETAquarium, just dont have the time to maintain aquascapes and the maintenance with shrimp tanks are a breeze compared to planted tanks Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said in another post that you got more into shrimps but couldn't you continue to combine both as far as artistic tanks like this and shrimp ?

Thanks Louie, Time is a little on the scarce side and space, but will one day setup a planted tank again, I love the sizes of the ADA 90p and 120p but they are very expensive I love tank #4. What did you use and how? Thanks Vpier, the hardscape was just dried out wood we get all over here on farms, plants were Bolbitis, Needle leave Java, various mosses, anubias nana petite, Java petite and dwarf hair grass. Hardscape is very important in planted tanks, the more you have the better result in the end Here is a pic of how the hardscape look svetilda, Amyers22 and Louie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
