This tank is so dim because of the amount of vallisneria leaves at the surface. I keep debating on trimming it, but I don't like the look of trimmed Val. Also, it's crept up to the front of the tank again, lol

Of course, the endlers don't mind at all. It gives the babies somewhere to chill.

The loaches love to curl themselves in between the leaves, so the more the marrier for them.

The shrimp don't care at all though. As long as there is some yummy biofilm on it, then they're happy. Look at her pickin through the sand and detritus. So cute~

New plan that I'm intending to get going, with the excuse of a Christmas treat: finally getting a small, relatively easy to maintain planted tank set up here, for some shrimp and most likely a betta. Because my cheap ass evidently needs some excuse beyond "I just think they're neat." 🙄

Considering one of these setups:

https://aquaremedyireland.com/product/shrimp-set-smart-2-30l-black/

(Not from this place; that was just a handy link in English.)

The model name is pretty coincidental. I was just looking for a tank of around that size, which happens to be a popular setup for mini shrimp. Currently going back and forth between the idea of also getting a matching stand (which is pricier than the tank itself), and just picking up a reasonably sturdy small table from IKEA. I could get, say, a Skruvby--which looks functionally very similar minus a cabinet door--for less than half the price.

It's both exciting and sort of intimidating to be starting over completely from scratch with aquarium stuff. All of it basically ended up getting abandoned back in Romford. Including the multiple tanks of various sizes.

I don't have 15+ years of accumulated equipment/supplies to dip into now and set up another small tank on the cheap, or really the means to get out looking for bargains or picking stuff up from the local Craigslist equivalent--and pretty much everything aquarium (or most other hobby) related is spendy as shit here, compared to when I was feeding my aquatic habit in the UK.

But yeah, it is what it is. And we can afford to get a damn shrimp tank up and running, even at full Swedish retail prices. Better just pretend it's Monopoly money, and pick up what I need.

(Also, gotta say that my tiny dyscalculic brain is also still more prone to sticker shock, seeing as it's around 100kr to $10 or £7.50. Gotta shift that decimal point one space over for those quick mental conversions! Otherwise you're gasping at a $25 loaf of bread. Could be worse, it could be either yen or, say, Jamaican dollars for the extra denomination mindfuck. Just remembering hearing one guy bitching about spending J$200 for a head of cabbage after some bad growing weather. 😱)

But yeah, besides just really looking forward to some new little water buddies? I'm enjoying mentally planning out the aquascaping and looking at some potential options. Also looking forward to the prospect of planning around something as polite as these little guys.

They couldn't really tear/gobble up their plants or root around in the tank substrate if they even wanted to, so you don't need to plan around that. (Yes, I am looking at you, messy carp beasts goldfish. 😒) Easier to get things looking nice with tiny guys who actually like to help by grazing on algae.

Fish Wishes!

(Images aren’t mine, snatched from google)

Ok so I’ve thought about this for awhile and I’ve seen a couple of these guys in fish stores and done the research to figure out what’s going to be happiest in my 15G nano tank.

Honey Gourami as the centrepiece fish

When I see these guys iRL, they’re always inquisitive, swimming right up to things and then giving them a little pat with their feelers. They’re cute and interesting to watch. Generally considered a peaceful community fish but Reddit has been full of stories of them bullying their own kind until they die :< As they’re happy solo, I think I can give them a stress free life being the centrepiece fish of the tank with a few easygoing nano fish friends.

Or Sparkling Gourami as the centrepiece?

I love the idea of Sparklers. I fell in love with the YouTube series from Foo the Flowerhorn where they set up a tank with sparklers and amanos. In reality I think it’s very risky for the amanos; I’ve had LFS guys and Reddit posts give me anecdotes about the sparklers eating shrimp or killing them off slowly by beating them into hiding. Let’s be honest, I do this hobby to relax. I’m not going to have violence in my tank! Such a shame as they’re so pretty. The image of these guys with their turquoise scales and a backdrop of a bunch of baby blue jelly shrimps would be soo cool but I know there would be suffering so it would never be worth it.

Nano fish

Celestial Pearl Danios

Excuse the shitty iPhone vid. Sometimes you just have to go to see some fish iRL to figure if you’re really going to love them.

I’ll tell you what, every time I see these guys in real life they make my heart flutter with how stinking cute they are. They have beautiful colours and are so small. The ones I’ve seen in store have been about 0.8” in length.

Chilli rasbora

These are another species that always catch my attention in person. Their little faces and big eyes are too cute to handle and their body shape looks like a miniature red shark. They’re also micro predators so they would have a great time gobbling up the creatures and loose eggs in the tank. Thankfully their mouths are too small to do any damage to shrimps!

Extras;

When I think of all the gross lil non-fish creatures I would enjoy in a tank, my mind always gravitates to cherry shrimp or amanos. With amanos I think i’d like the peace of mind to rely on these lil dudes to clean up the nastier hairier algae if it turns up.

However, a hoard of cherries swarming the tank and filling it with bright colours would also be so fun! Blue jellies are the cutest but bright orange ones look like you’ve got a tank full of pre cooked shrimp or living cheetos.

Anyways, that’s my fish wishes! Im not going to get every one of these fish, just a centrepiece fish, some skrimps if compatible and a small shoal of nano fish.

Next weekend I might go to the LFS and see what I can find, I’m so excited!

I have baby shrimp!!! I can't get my camera phone to focus on them for love or money 🤣 so here's a very blurry baby shrimp!

I counted about 10 I could see while I was trimming plants and adding water.

Plus a clip of my big shrimp so you can see how teeny tiny the babies are. It seems they like the benevolent neglect of the last few months of my life falling apart 😅🫣
