Hi...start a small planted shrimp tank...mainly following the steps taken by LZX....

Soil use

mineral use, Old Sea Mud Powder

and the tank with hang-on filter!

After 1 water change, I stirred up the air bubbles trap within the soil

these are the plants

I didn't know that this plant is a cut plant without roots...not sure wheter it will survive!

mini nanas

2 other types of nanas

Bro. The root from that cut spiky plant will come out from the spiky part one.. so plant as low as possible.. but its growth is very boring.. just one long stem shoot up very high.. my shoot up so high that I took all out and gave away.
