I forgot about my new commitment, that’s okay. I’m not in the mood to describe all my interests, so I’ll write only about my new aquarium project.

I’ve always had aquatic pets, but I feel like recently I fell in love with aquaristics again. For now, I have only one aquarium and it keeps me busy, so I wasn’t planning on starting a new one. Sadly, addiction kicked in and I feel a strong urge to try a different style and form of aquascaping.

The other reason is that I have to do something with my Limnobium laevigatum since my ex-plan didn’t work. It was supposed to cover... eeee, I don’t remember the word for it... the surface of the water(?), you know what I mean, and let in only a small amount of light to highlight the statue. Of course, with a very strong water flow, which is necessary for bamboo shrimps, it won’t last long.

Blah blah blah, the truth is I really want blue shrimps. I’m not willing to sacrifice the natural colouring of my colony for it and I don’t have any tank at my mom’s... yet. Plan for the new aquarium is simple:

• 13.5l bowl

• black gravel

• black lava rocks

• moss carpet

 •plants from main aquarium

• light, only at the centre

I won’t be using a heater for now; I’ve heard blue velvet shrimps do not like high temperatures. If any shrimpkeeper is reading this, please share some tips. I’ll share a picture of my aquarium (it’s not done yet).

I have only this picture, before cleaning and after my dad ABSOLUTELY RUINED EVERYTHING by pouring water fast. Shame on me, I’ll share a new picture when plants will be grown.
