Shrimp and Cherries FTW


Shrimps and cherries???

Cherries are shrimps and CRS are better :p

Exactly, it does seem strange. Is it a knee jerk reaction to invasive species spreading? Or is it a case of too little too late, or is it a token gesture? Time will tell I guess.

Marine species can (& have) cause issues, such as Northern Pacific sea stars, or weeds like Caulerpa taxifolia.

I think it was a reaction to a few species being found in our water ways.
Mainly G. brasiliensis. But some of the major pests we have were intentionally introduced by the government. Go figure.

It's always nice to see herps displayed in a natural setting ;)
I might put up a picture of the solar system on the back wall of my bluey's enclosure haha
Nice tanks mate, I always struggle with plantings in my tanks, the plants either struggle or go feral, there's no middle ground.

LMAO Anthony, I think a background of the solar system would be a nice contrast for the animal.. ;)

Planted tanks are a struggle at times, Co2 works wonders.
 
Yeah I was thinking of trying CO2, but my main problem is actually the fish. By fish, in particular snakehead gudgeon. They are fond of burying themselves in the gravel, & uprooting any plants in the process. Even planting them alongside rocks, timber, glass, they still get them one day. Also their raging bull antics when charging feeders, smashes the plants something fierce. So it seems only the hardiest plants survive, & when they do survive, they are like weeds (probably are actually haha)
 
Possibly try Anubia's on driftwood may be an option for that sort of peskie critter :p
 
Yeah that's another option, albeit at a bit of cost, anubias aren't that cheap around here.
It's not so bad, plants are relatively inexpensive & so long as there's some in the tank it's ok.
