6 Year Olds 20 Gallon Build

[Robmtl]

We haven’t updated in a while. We went on vacation and our neighbor fed the fish. Everyone seems to be good.

Right now we think somebody is eating the red cherry shrimp. We can only find a couple here and there or they are very good at hiding.

My dad said we could take my fish and put them in our family tank and redo my tank to be for shrimp and maybe those celestial pearl danios I really want. He has read that they might eat the baby shrimp but some people say they don’t.....

That's a great looking tank! I set up a 20 gallon tank for my son as well.

Any fish will probably eat some baby shrimp. That's just how it is. But if you have a lot of hiding places, you should be ok. It sounds like things are going well!

Dad here:

So tank is going great seems all the shrimp have gone missing. We have decided to put the shrimp tank conversion on hold. He was given a blue ram and loves it so shrimp are really off the table for this tank.

Now since the covid 19 lockdown my daughter has shown a great interest in having her own tank in her bedroom. She’s 10 so I ordered and just received her 26 gallon bow front, what can I say I’m a sucker for my kids. We are just going to set it up today as an activity. We have pilfered a bunch of old decor from the storage room plus I have a bucket filled with statum substrate. The LFS gave us an Anubias as a gift to help her start out, she’s also convinced me (I’m powerless against those puppy dog eyes) to give her one of the 2 java fern covered driftwood pieces in my 55gallon. I will post pics later and I’m pretty sure she will want to start a thread about it.

She is starting her thread not sure how to link it. She put it in freshwater beginners title is daughters tank. I’m sure she will love to answer.

We looked online today to pass some time I think she has a want list of about 20-30 species. She knows not all can go in a 26
