#amano tank

Sometimes you just have to get a piggy back ride from your massive tank of a girlfriend.

I need to get more videos of my Amano shrimp, they have such fun colors

My very overgrown Fluval flex showcasing why Hygrophila polysperma is considered a noxious weed. The Sparkling Gourami absolutely love the dense growth of the stems.

Curator Manny readies the new Mural in the 5 gallon for exhibition.

The Inlaid Cubes sculpture is already prepped and ready for viewing.

The first to show up to the Exhibition is G.F. Tetra, the art critic.

The artist, N. E. Ritesnail is nervous. This is her first gallery exhibition. What will the critic say?

Success! The community hurries to view the artistic embellishments and admire the new Gallery!

You won't find N. E. Ritesnail sitting on her laurels, however, she is already busy working on her next art installment. Inspiration will not be denied!

A friend was winding their shrimp tank down after ~4 years so they gave me their shrimp, including Big Bertha the gigantic and ancient Amano shrimp who has quickly become the queen of the tank and my heart.

VD: a tiktok set to the song 'Da Biggest Bird' by Saint Mercat∅r of Big Bertha the huge female Amano shrimp hanging out with Gonzo the bamboo shrimp and swimming into the cherry shrimp feeding frenzy to take an entire food pellet to eat by herself. I also introduce Medium Michael the normal sized amano shrimp, also eating his own pellet.

ID: a realistic chalk pastel drawing on grey paper of Big Bertha the amano shrimp, outlined in black and rendered in white with orange and blue highlights.

Pretty ladies

Xylem is getting braver and traveling more around the tank. I try to spot-feed her when I see her, just in case, to make sure she's getting enough food.

And because I can't sit down next to the tank without someone spying on me....

Came across a few of your comics (they’re great) and was about to keep scrolling and move on with my life, but then I saw you’re into planted aquariums so I had to follow. Us nerds gotta stick together ya know?

oh hell yeah, high five. i haven't posted any pictures in ages bc as my tank has reached a kind of insane unexpected equilibrium it's also become less photogenic, and i haven't wanted to disturb a stable system just to make it photograph better lol -- BUT recently i have been thinking about finally starting to fuss over it again, maybe add some new plants and some new shrimp to transition over as my current band of amanos reach the end of their lifespan, and maybe when i have that all brushed up i'll take u guys on a little tour again. (for the shrimp nerds who may be interested: i'm thinking about nabbing some neocaridinas, likely blue jelly + carbon rilli. it would be nice to have a self-sustaining colony, since obv the amanos can't breed in fresh water.)

my favorite thing about amano shrimp is how they will just yoink fish food away from the actual fish and then swim away to perch elsewhere while eating it

my second favorite thing is how you can see ALL THEIR INTERNAL ORGANS

These are not the best pictures, but I HAVE PET SHRIMP NOW! There are two in this 10-gallon planted tank, but I should have more soon. I don't want to over-crowd the aquarium, but it can comfortably house a few more of these wet bugs.
