Did a water check Ammonia = 0, Nitrite = 0, Nitrate = 5 - I'd searched the .www for Shrimps in Lancashire and found a big aquarist store advertising :- the number one shop in the North West of England in 2012, 2013 and 2014 - A huge 45ft wall of aquariums over 3 tiers - Shrimps – many varieties. So I drove there (85 mile round trip) to find No Shrimp and a scruffy shop when I challenged him about 'Shrimps – many varieties' was told they were short staffed and the web site hadn't been updated in a while, but I should have checked on Farcebook I called in at the local Pet shop on the way back and bought four Amano Shrimp to have something in the tank, they seem fine so I'll put the two Amano and the Bamboo Shrimp from the small upstairs tank in soon and maybe buy a few more Bamboo Shrimp and forget about Cherry Shrimp as I don't want to order them by mail when you cann't see what your getting
So I'll give them a good scrub tomorrow, tie the Pennywort to them and see what they look like in the tank
