I set this tank up about a week after Thanksgiving 2003, to house a group of
Cherry Shrimp purchased at the AGA convention, This photo was taken within 24 hours. I had intended to put one
or two white clouds in the tank, but I enjoyed watching the shrimp so much that I decided not to add any fish.
I wanted this to be a very stable, slow growth tank. I also wanted
it to be very easy to maintain. I didn't want to deal with a substrate in this tiny tank, but didn't want a bare bottom
either. So I dismembered a Cladophora ball, and sewed it onto a sheet of plastic needlepoint canvas. The other plants
used were a small Java fern, Anubias barteri var. 'Nana', Christmas moss and Monosolenium tenerum.
Recently I tossed in a piece of Phylanthus fluitans from another tank. I wasn't sure how this
little floater would do in the low humidity, but it is doing fine, and has even produced some flowers!
