Nano Planted shrimp scape

[Gourami Swami]

After a few months use, the filter that came with this tank went to crap. The light started to flicker a little bit as well, though I did some research and it turns out that the power supply they give you is too small, with an upgrade it would be fixed. I don't like the spectrum anyway, so I bought a new light.

New light: Finnex planted plus LED cliplight
New filter: Mignon 60

Here is the tank with the new equipment; Also sold 20 shrimp out of here yesterday (still have about 20) and did a big trim.

Looks good although surprised you sold off half your shrimp so quickly... would have personally waited till population exploded even more...

Thank you,
About selling the shrimp, in this small 4 gallon, the 40-50 shrimp I had pretty much covered the bottom at feeding time, and I noticed females stopped getting new berries. I think that maybe the tank was at capacity shrimp-wise and they knew it, or maybe they were not getting enough food because of all the competition. New shrimplets seemed to have a higher mortality rate with this many shrimp as well. Whatever the reason, I figured better to thin the herd and let them re-populate. I started with 5 shrimp in October, pretty happy with the breeding progress
