Hey good to see the thread still going strong and new ideas coming into the equation. I ended up tearing my tigger pod tank down. It's really of no use anymore with my dragonet eating frozen foods like mini blood worms, mysis, and brine w/ spirulina. He is healthy and a chunker with plenty of pods all over the walls.
I did end up turning the tank into a mix freshwater neocaridina shrimp tank. Had great success starting with about 20 till the tank ended up getting muscular necrosis which killed all 150+ 3 months later. Yes they breed fast! After this happened. I end up taking the 20g and setting it up for my 5 1/2 year old Figure 8 Puffer that he now resides in happily.
There is some really beautiful shrimp out there to be had. Just not really the best ones are in the US. Some of them are in the $1000+ range! Think the Orange Eye Galaxy Fishbone is in $1500 range.
This is what it turned into.
Sweet! I have a neo tank as well, but it's mixed with some guppies I use as a supplement feeder to my nems. But I learned a lot from your original thread a couple of years ago. It'll help once I can start scaling up when my population starts increasing. Glad to hear your mandarin is doing well!
