Hi, I'm new here. I live in the Netherlands and have a shrimptank with RC en the normal black ones.
I hope to breed my shrimp in the future but up to yesterday I only had females in that tank.
Here is a pic of my shrimptank:
It's a 5 gallon tank and at the moment 6 shrimp and 2 baby golden mountain minnos live in it.

Welcome Marx, I like the way your tank is set up. It looks like a mountainous landscape. Be sure to keep your eyes on the minnos and move them when the time comes. Keep us updated

Hello, an Welcome to the Forum.
That is a very nice looking Tank. How Long has it been set up ?

I will, I have a 50 gallon with all older minnos, that's were they will go when big enough.
The tank has 2 big logs of driftwood so it does look like a mountainous landscape. The shrimp climb on it and peel all algea of the plants, moss and wood.

I've had this tank for over a year now but nothing living in it. 6 months ago I bought 3 beeshrimp and yesterday 3 more with 2 red ones. I hope I have a male now beceause the 3 old ones are females I think.
No, no black shrimps, just normal beeshrimp
One with white stripes, one with only 2 stripes and one without white

Marx, I too have normal bee shrimp in my tank. I have found that they need cooler temperature and cleaner water than the cherries and amanos but they are great to have around and to look at. I plan to get more and also maybe set up a seperate tank just for them. Well if I do I will let you know. Thanks again for sharing
