Congratz in V5! Very nice added info too. Where my tank in 1st page my tank not nice ah...

Lesson that i learn from this thread...."No fish is safe for shrimp" and its true. Yup..neon tetra and pygmy rasboras can live peacefully with adult shrimp but its will be a massacre for the babies . So if u are serious in keeping shrimp, i suggest u to setup a shrimp-only tank ..just my 2cent. Owh BTW, the only fish that i 100% recommend to be a safe tank mate for shrimp is.. the one n only...MR. OTTO

Added on September 17, 2010, 4:09 pmThere is a lot of guide in internet on how to start a planted tank, u just need a google . Describe small tank? If small tank like mine 1.7ft, i use eiheim 2211 + substrat pro + sponge + bacter ball for filter and filter media

For planted tank,I think using carbon in the filter is not suitable. Carbon removes many harmful elements from your aquarium, such as: copper, chlorine, dissolved proteins, and carbohydrates . Also, activated carbon can make your aquarium look so clear by removing discolorants. But the bad thing is, carbon also remove all the essential nutrients that the plant need in fertilizer.

So, how does one control the accumulation of unwanted colors or aromas from the aquarium? After all, any aquarium tends to build up a “yellow” color with time. The answer is regular water changes. With regular partial water change, we can maintain healthy aquarium environment without using carbon .

Thanks bro. Just trim my messy tank hehe..

Hmm..yup u right. It would be better if no background . Thanks for the heads up

Bro i took ur advice bout the background and remove it...yup its look more natural now
