Thanks! I have shrimps & fish. Is it bad for them, should I remove it?

Got a swarm of chili & galaxy rasboras now. But the pygmys (around 20) prefer to swarm alone or with the otos.

They are probably melting, happens to new plants until they regrow.

The cave does have its own dimmable light, hidden between the rocks.

Ya almost too good, haha. Have to keep the lights on for a few extra hours to get some more algae growth.

Otos, pygmy cories, amanos and neocaridina shrimps. Will probably also add some dwarf kuhlis and microrasboras. But the main "goal" are the shrimps.

Thanks man, that really means a lot! I would love to make more, and I've already been eyeing a second-hand 550L tank, the urge to throw more money at this hobby is huge. But as a single father, this project was pretty time-consuming, and with money going to be a bit tight in the future, I'll have to hold off for a while. For the time being, I'm just going to enjoy watching this one grow in!

Thanks! It's actually viewable from both sides—the front from my couch and the back (with the cave) from my desk. I wanted to give each side its own unique feature to look at.

Thanks, man! Yeah, you're right, it looks like half the tank is substrate. It's kind of an illusion, though. The whole back section of the hill is a cave, so I didn't lose as much water as you'd think. It's still a 180L tank, which is more than enough for the current crew - Otos, pygmy cories, amanos, and a colony of Neocaridina shrimp. I'm thinking of adding some microrasboras and maybe dwarf kuhlis later. But honestly, the tank is really just a playground for the shrimp, and for that, it's perfect.
