My Iwagumi Shrimp Tank "Mt. Sinai"

Post by vandominic »

Hello everyone! My name is Van and I'm here in the Philippines. It's my first time to post a thread here at PetShrimp.com and I would like to share my "Mt. Sinai" Iwagumi Tank and the different species of shrimps and other inverts that reside here.

(Should any of you find wrong names given to any specie, please do not hesitate to post a comment or pm me for corrections. I am just a newbie to this shrimp hobby and I want to learn more from you all, from both masters and my fellow learners. All your helpful comments and suggestions are very much welcome in this thread. Hope you'd enjoy. Thank you!)

First: Here is my tank

Gorgeous setup!

I'm intrigued with how vibrant your cherry and stone shrimp are. Some of them rival a saltwater fire shrimp. :shock: :-D

Also a huge fan of the Macros you have in there.

Good stuff. Thanks for posting.

The stone shrimps only show their bright yellow or red color during night time. Usually they are either transparent yellow, orange, or dark brown. Placed those macros in a different tank already as I realized the were aggressive to the dwarf shrimps. ;) Thanks for the comment!
