In today’s video, I’m excited to give you a detailed tour of one of my planted shrimp tanks that's been running for five months. This tank was specifically designed for cherry shrimp and other Neocaridina species, such as the orange Neos I have in this setup. It’s an easy-to-maintain tank, perfect for beginners or anyone interested in keeping shrimp in a planted environment. I’ll cover the full process of setting up the tank, the mistakes I made, and the changes I implemented to get it to where it is today. The tank itself is a 25-liter (6.6 US gallon) aquarium, and with the way I manage it, it can comfortably support anywhere between 50-100 shrimp. I’ll start by talking about the importance of choosing the right substrate, where I went with a black inert gravel that works well for highlighting the colors of the shrimp. Initially, I wanted to create a moss-dominant scape, so I’ll walk you through how I used Christmas Moss and shrimp sticks made from wooden dowels to create grazing areas for the shrimp. In the video, I’ll also explain how I tackled common issues, such as the unexpected algae blooms that emerged early in the tank's life. Without fast-growing plants to absorb excess nutrients, the algae took over, but this also provided plenty of natural food for the shrimp during the cycling phase. I’ll discuss how I eventually introduced fast-growing Limnophila to outcompete the algae, which made a huge difference in the tank’s balance. You’ll see how I’ve incorporated accessories like shrimp tubes, suction cups, moss mats, and cholla wood into the tank. While some of these additions worked out great, others, like the 3D-printed cholla wood, were a bit of a disappointment, and I’ll share why they didn’t meet my expectations. I’ll also discuss the challenges of keeping orange Neocaridina shrimp compared to other varieties like red cherry shrimp, yellow Neos, and Bloody Mary shrimp. My experience has been that orange Neos are more sensitive to water conditions and can be more challenging to keep alive. Throughout the video, you’ll get a step-by-step look at the progression of the tank, from its initial setup, to the weeks of algae bloom, to the eventual introduction of shrimp. I’ll show you how I acclimated the shrimp, cleaned up the algae, and added various plants and decorations over time to create a thriving environment. I also talk about the decision to switch from a sponge filter to a nano hang-on-back (HOB) filter for better water quality and ease of maintenance. While sponge filters are great for baby shrimp, especially in tanks with less debris, the algae problem in this tank made the sponge filter clog up too quickly, making a HOB filter the better choice for me. By the end of the video, you’ll see how the tank looks after five months of growth, with Limnophila and Monosolenium now thriving and helping to keep algae in check. I’ll share my thoughts on what worked, what didn’t, and what I would do differently if I were to set up a similar tank in the future. For example, I’d probably skip the moss altogether and go for a setup with fast-growing plants like Limnophila and Rotala from the beginning to minimize algae issues. This video is perfect for anyone thinking about setting up their first shrimp tank, as I cover a lot of tips and tricks that I’ve learned through trial and error. Whether you’re just starting out or are an experienced aquarist, you’ll find plenty of useful information and ideas to help you create a beautiful, healthy shrimp tank of your own.
