It might be possible for the mosquito fish fry to eat some of the shrimp fry. Yeah.

Here are some pics of my stand that I'm making. Not 100% finished with it yet tho, here are some pics. I will also be making a canopy for the 2 gall tank. Tell me what you think!

Here are some pics of the stand drying after I painted it with some kind of paint that makes the wood water proof. Its still drying up.

Thanks for all the pics! Very, very interesting stuff (not being real familiar with FW myself)

I have some bad news. On Wednesday the tank crashed and 10 cherry shrimp survived. I put the cherry shrimp in my 25 gallon heavily planted tank. I don't know why it crashed, half of the cherry shrimp died. All the plants and snails were fine.

so - Did you get your tank set back up at all? How is it doing now??

Nope, I never did set it back up.

Are the remaining cherry shrimp still alive in your community tank?
