Quick question I have a 5 gal and I have 3 guppies getting 3-2 more next week, when I go to get the fish how many shrimp can I get, I have a fully planted tank very healthy long cycled tank

@BobMossNanoTanks Жыл бұрын

That's a pretty high bioload for a 5 gallon. Tbh you might have more trouble than it's worth keeping shrimp and fish in such a small tank.

Hey, quick question: I have four amano shrimp in 90 litre. How clean will they make it? I do water changes etc but will I need a lot more for them to clean algae?

@BobMossNanoTanks 6 ай бұрын

Amanos will munch on algae but I don't think it will be overly noticeable. The real algae destroyers are snails, since I've had ramshorns I've had no bad algae issues.

I have a 55 gallon and i plan to mix them with tetras do you still think I should start with 40?

@BobMossNanoTanks 3 жыл бұрын

55 gallon, I don't think you would notice 40 haha. You could get away with like 100 to start in that size.

And another question . For everyone . I’m thinking red rili shrimp with celestial pearl danio or rummy nose tetra. Was trying to match/ compliment the colors .

I bought like 5 shrimp a few months ago and now I have a million shrimp. How much do you feed your shrimp and how often?

@BobMossNanoTanks 3 жыл бұрын

I feed almost daily, as much as they will eat in a 2 hour period or a small pinch of powdered food. I fast every now and then, usually one day a week. With large shrimp populations, you kind of have to feed daily IMO or they will consume all the biofilm.

I just watched this video. I have a 65 litre tank how many can I put

@BobMossNanoTanks 2 жыл бұрын

Lol the video explains it! You can start with up to 60-70 shrimp easily. A tank that size can support thousands of babies.

Would some tiny tetras work with shrimp? 5-8 gallon tank . Tiny school of tetra and shrimp

@BobMossNanoTanks 10 ай бұрын

Tetras will definitely have some snacks if kept with shrimp. They are in the same family as piranhas IIRC, so anything they can fit in their mouth will become a meal. They are also voracious hunters. If you have a shrimp colony already established, it will probably survive, but starting them out together is not ideal for the shrimps.

OK, so I got 10 blue dreams to start off and out of that 10 four of them were females they all berried up within about the first week they started dropping shrimplets I can estimate probably maybe 30 or 40 little shrimplets might be more and I think I have three buried female still, it’s a 10 gallon aquarium so 40 L for the parts of the world, so there’s 10 adults and roughly let’s say 30 shrimplets, and there’s still 3 berried females that I know of, I do plan on upgrading to bigger tanks, that I do have. So I should be ok for a while?? The newbies are so tiny I have to use a magnifying glass 🔍 thanks I’m checking out more videos I will watch them all in time🙂👍🏻
