Default just a little question (:

my grandma is 85 years old this year, living fine and all, but she got nothing to do everyday as she is well taken care of and in the pink of health. she is not a person that watches TV, so she spent the day just lazing around and walking around the house.

just today, she came by my house and saw my shrimp tanks, she taken a huge interest in my shrimps as she was staring into my tanks for over 3hours. and so my aunts were planning to get her a 1ft to 2ft tank as she nv seen my grandma so interested in something for quite a long while. was thinking what fishes / shrimps should i keep inside that might be interesting for an 85 year old woman?

the tank / fishes should be low maintenance as my uncle would be the one taking care of it.

thanks all for listening to my story. (:

Juz infd by lfs auntie that 'mosquito' fish can comm with shrimps... My humble advise as following.. Dun mind me been frank duo..

Nice to get iq3/5 for her as easily to maintain. I believed ur main concern now is to a simple tank for ur grandma's company. Will suggest some fire red (5 max) with some moss on coconut husk... And also 5 'mosquito'/ galaxy fish. Maybe 2-3 snail for color... Breeding should not be a concern here... Main thing she's happy... With some colorful fishes swimming ard the tank wun look so boring for someone her age..
