Let me introduce my iberian native tank. 60 liters, Eden external filter. No heater. Plants, animals, stones and wood are collected in the wild. Water collected in a natural spring.

Flora: elodea, myriophyllum, thread algae, native moss, duckweed.



Fauna: snails and native shrimps. We'll take a look after.

And european river shrimp (atyaephyra desmarestii), the queen of the tank. Younger ones and males have transparent livery...

[odin]

Nice! Are the babys ones that you have bred?

[Bat]

mature female are amazing: colourful, everyone is different.

[odin]

What difficulty are they to breed?

[Bat]

Odin, captive breeding is hard. Newborn pass for different larval stages. In my tanks survive only 4/5 days. But I keep trying.

Two days old larvae. Length 1mm.

Did you take pic of larvae? Have other people successfully breed them? Do you think they are not surviving because they are not getting particularly foods?
