I added some CRS to this little tank. Bought 10 but 1 dead on arrival so 9 went in.
The HC is coming on slowly but spreading. Have to be careful with 50% water changes on this tank because there's only 1cm of sand at the foreground for the HC to bed in to. I just push any stray bits back into the substrate and let them work their own way back to the surface.
I think the shrimp are grade S but maybe A+. They have little tiger tooths, so am waiting on more experienced shrimp owners to give me a more accurate grading.
