First attempt doing a planted tank

[conchabullosa]

Newbie at planted tank. Trying small (30cm) tank in the office



Some shrimps as well




Alot of shrimp food thrown in by the secretary cos she was worried about shrimp starvation! sigh!

Wow that's really good for a first attempt!
And tell you secretary not to overfeed! haha... overfeeding will cause much more problems then underfeeding.. besides, shrimps are detritus and algae eaters.

so much better than my 1st attempt..haha

Difficult lor, U know they see the shrimps and they go "so cute" and they grab the can of shrimp food and start shaking all over!

Ya leftover food will cause ammonia spike. Overfeeding is also not good for your shrimp.
