Hopefully they will overproduce and you'll have little ones swimming around everywhere. Something's gotta fill that space or I'll convince your wife to dump in some brine shrimp.

^ yeah, i seem to constantly have berried females, just not as many fry seem to make it to adulthood (guessing get caught in filter etc)...

But once i dialed in the lights, i will be more comfortable over-feeding them again...

As some know, i tore down the tank after about a month of running due to mad algae and diatom problems...

Well the tank has finally been rescaped, settled and water back to being crystal clear so decided to post some new pics of what it looks like now... Athough some plants im still waiting for them to fill in / bounce back...

^ yeah, even over here they are quite popular especially with so many types... some that come with quite a hefty price tag for a plant....

Found a new store today for high grade CRS for an extremely reasonable price, picked up 25 SS grade shrimp for approx USD $75...

Best of all, they also ship internationally, same price point except need to add shipping cost, they even use delivery service to your front door...

I've always said you must be extra careful with glassware and to think just 2 days ago i was contemplating buying a spare intake tube till this happened just now...

Should have gone with my gut feeling an bought a spare when i had the chance...

Love the variety in your tank. Lots of colors to enjoy.

Is there an option for acrylic tubes on the market? I think that'd be nice cause you wouldn't have to worry as much about cracking anything.
