Future shrimp home

I got myself a nano today...and once again spent my entire babysitting check on fish stuff   hehe. I would like to put shrimp and a couple endlers in it. Not sure if I like the blue... any way to change that?

Is it a colored acrylic back? You could put in a small or thin 3D background inside the tank on the back wall to cover it or even only cover a portion of it...just another option.

The whole blue thing comes out, that's the filter. It would have to be exposed to water whatever I put in.

Is your filter/sponge a hamburg matten filter? If it is I don't think you would want to cover it with what I was suggesting .. like the 3D background as you want good flow through the filter. Maybe just some taller plants or bushier plants to hide a bit more of the blue. Looks like a great setup for the shrimps.

The shrimp should really stand out on that black gravel. Need to make sure they will not get sucked up in a filter though.

What do you suggest? I have never tried shrimp before lol

Mesh (tulle works) or a sponge-type pre-filter (aquaclear filter foam works).

Very cool little shrimp tank! I like the blue, and besides once its planted and has shrimp in it you wont even notice the back.

You're going to love shrimp!!

Best place to get shrimp?

pbmax had some great looking shrimp a while back...I wished I had more room for a nice shrimp tank...these would have been perfect for me

 Thanks!

Shameless plug!

I still have shrimp available.  Folks aren't too crazy about driving down to the wrong end of the sound.  Their loss, I guess.
