Also I dont like the chances of survival of the shrimp with the Mollies. If they area pair and start breeding the tank will be to small any way. Plants require more than a tank. It is the correct type of substrate, water, lighting, filtration and feeding, as you can see we require a lot more info. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

keithgh *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003 | Some one is certainly giving you a lot of wrong info that is way to small even for the shrimp alone. Get a bigger tank extremely fast even a 10gal would be too small for the mollies alone.

keithgh *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003 | Donovan sounds like a very good idea it looks like she has already been well misinformed. Sorry I can not send any plants to you just a bit too far. I hope another good FP member can help you out with some plants. I toss out about 1lt of floating plants every month.

As yo know I have the small Red Cherry Shrimp and during the last water change when I was waving the vac over the small Crypts a baby shrimp was walking up my finger and it stayed for about one minute Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
