[wip] Shy shrimp and moss
🕑 Added 2021-08-03 18:51:13 +0000 UTCFreshwater shrimp's best friend is freshwater moss.
They always love moss. Moss is a good playground and hiding place for shrimp.
I drew the moss familiar to people with freshwater tanks with my shrimp character.
Crystal red shrimp adult is only 5cm (2inch) and moss leaf are super small and cute. there are over ten thousand types of moss in the world :D
In my case, I have a lot of willow moss.
They make my tank look like a jungle. They are my fish's bed.
A long time ago there was Riccia too.
Riccia is a floating moss. So I had to attach them to a heavy structure. I liked their bright colors and photosynthetic appearance... but my Corydoras like to dig, so they blew all the Riccias attached to the stones to the surface🤣
In the case of Corydoras fish tank, the moss condition is rather poor.... I have Brush Algae problem 😅There is too much sunlight in my room... But my fish doesn't seem to care 😁
I want to make the third sticker pack for shy shrimp this year as possible.
I used color for the lines, but only the eyes are black. Because the eyes are focal point.
Pellia moss's Korean name is water seaweed 😂
Thank you!

I love them! They’re all so cute!
pikaole
Oh no😭I hope Gourami doesn't care too much about it.

yeah it's super cute!! but because his nest is so dense it blocks out the light of all the plants under, and now it's infested with hair algae.... i feel so bad but I think I'm going to have to throw it out soon :(
pikaole
Hahahahaha same reason I got willow moth lol
Vee
yes! it's the first plant I got because I heard it's so hard to kill 😅
pikaole
btw It's so cute to think they have riccia in their bubble nest!
pikaole
Oh!?!? I've been searching for it now, and it looks like people using both spellings. I'm no expert, so it's a bit confusing😅!
pikaole
yeah there are so many cute moss...! but still java is good and strong XD
pikaole
Haha yeah I think so, once, I tried to grow brush algae in a coconut shelter XD
Vee
so cute!!! I have mostly java moss in my tank but now I want to try more types :P
Febrianne S
So sorry to nitpick, but it's "pelia" and "fissiden". I stock Java, pelia and mini fissiden in my shrimp tank. I had riccia in my main tank but the gourami male pulled it out for his bubble nest.... I love these drawings sooo much!

Cories love algae, dont worry! Looks perfect. You really nailed the look of the shrimp and moss here :)
pikaole

That second WIP shot where they're all just beans with faces is officially my favorite thing ever 😂
