It is going to be my Betta's new home. An inch and a half of organic potting soil capped with Flora Max, Planted with some Needle Leaf Java Fern, Crypt , Xmas moss, Naja guppy grass, floaters and some Ramshorn snails. Lit with an Ikea LED desk lamp and a nano heater and he has a new home!<br />

I have made some changes in this tank as well. Got rid of the Pencil fish. They became very aggressive once full grown and were attacking the other fish and shrimp. Replaced them with more CPD's (crystal pearl danios), and some Rasbora Maculata juvis.</div>

All these fish are considered nano fish and stay under an inch long when full grown. They live well with my yellow shrimp but will eat the baby shrimp if they can find them. I have a lot of moss in the tank for the baby shrimp to hide in so hopefully some will survive. </div>

Lost some PFR's and my wood shrimp due to a huge PH swing from Petco black sand that was added. Live and learn. Now have two bamboo shrimp and about 20 PFR's locally sourced. One of the adults is berried already! She is so solid red that it is really hard to see the eggs unless she is backlit. I thought she was moving kinda slow. When they are loaded up with eggs they really tend to slow down!<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have always loved fish and aquariums. As a small child I enjoyed watching my dad who raised fish during the 1940's thru the early 1060's in Anchorage Alaska. He would bring his treasure back from Washington State and the East Coast, raise and sell fish and plants to the local pet store.</span></div>
