Setup complete...

So, after moving tanks around and scaling down and then back up again I think I am where I want to be (...more accurate; what I have time to look after).

To fill some of the tanks I set up (again) I got some really nice shrimp from Michael Nadal, Heinz Wippermann, Uwe Zeitler, Stev Kolditz and others. Here are a few....

Probably the best yellow fire neon I have seen live. 

I hope I can keep the quality high!

Green jade.

Caridina sp. Nemo bee female.

Stev's ghosts. Really interesting!

16 x 30 litres and 12 x 50 litres should be manageable for me with job and children. I have let go of all fish to be able to do fewer waterchanges and not have the trouble collecting and breeding live foods.

The rack is the good old home-build one with LED lights. Not the fanciest setup, but it works. More about the setup in a later update.

12 of the tanks are dedicated to wildtype(ish) shrimp. Of course I select on my Aura Blue, but they are not crossed with any other species.

Caridina sp. Raccoon tiger is a very nice wildtype...

Caridina cantonensis - Tangerine Tiger
Caridina cantonensis - Aura Blue

A lot of pictures need to be taken and/or uploaded but the Neocaridina and Paracaridina pages are correct.
