Fisherman


With bigger tank, I can afford a small little ornament with all the plants completely transferred from smaller to bigger tank. It looks a little soothing with "someone" fishing inside.

Completed plants transfer



Managed to upgroot my plants from old to the new tank. Now my old tank is empty except with shrimps waiting to be transfered at later stage.

Starting a New Tank


First I will need the GEX soil and 1.5 feet tank. Chose one that has round unblocked front & side view. Than I transfer my plants over..slowly though. The two rocks will be the focal point which
gave me the inspirations to my next creativity...

I hope both my favorite old "NANA TREE" and petite nana can survive the new tank.

Last look of my forested Nano


After much deliberations, it is time to upgrade my tank. The shrimps are getting too productive in this small 1-footer and the plants are squeezing each other for spaces as seen in the pic. Therefore, I reckied around and eventually bought a suitable 5-plan 1.5 feet acrylic tank and keeping to budget and space constraint issue. It is really a challenge to do transfer due to high sensitivity of shrimps (by more than a 100 including shrimplets) to the water elements. Getting plants to acclimatise in the new environment is no easy task too . Both flora and fauna are equally important to me in this risky project. Will follow thru the steps in subsequent days...
