We have bought 3 sulawesi shrimps for testing of the new tank...currently japanese hairgrass and downoi has also been added to the tank...frogbit is temporary used to help keep the tank in balance while the ground plants develope..here are some pictures =)
Not sure what type it is but it should be a six band black bee..
Currently they have been in the tank for 2 days+ and are still healthy

HC(hemianthus callitrichoides) was take frm our lab to be planted into the tank today..some minor cleaning was done to it before planting..
The HC was planted in between the Japanese hairgrass as emerse form to prevent algae growth as the tank is still quite empty..
The wood was also tied with Nana and Java ferns and left to splatter to let them grow..once they hav rooted the HC should hav also rooted and then we will fill the tank with Downois at the back and finally tie chrismas moss to the wall and place it at the back.
The tank will be filled with water once the downois become stable and then Cuba would be planted ..This should take 2weeks or so..maintainance would be done frequently more updates will be up..
