I wouldn't. Very small tanks are difficult to keep stable and shrimp really need stability in order to create sustainable colony.

Just remember, if the gravel is light, then developing juveniles will grow lighter in colour to feel more hidden. Black substrate is best if u want the bright popping colours

@Nemesis0513 3 ай бұрын

You could probably get away with keeping it next to the window and only using the moss ball for further simplification. Yes, it’ll be messier, but if you only need it to work, shrimp allow you to minimize to a much lower level. I’d say just sponge filter and Java moss is technically enough for a barebones setup, shrimp are really forgiving and need really little to survive, grow, and be happy. Beech leaves serve as an additional food source, gravel is considered more of an upgrade to the plant and bacterial loads than a necessity, a dirt layer underneath would really boost that if you’re going to go down that route. You could technically use any plant trimmings you get for free if we’re talking about gravel, even the “shrimple setup” has a couple layers to it.

Where did you get the sponge filter for the little tank? I'm moving my neocardinas to a 6 gallon tank that came with a low flow filter because they didn't have one for less than 10g tank. The guy said it would burn out too fast. Any thoughts?

@AquascapingCube Жыл бұрын

Hi. I got it on amazon. Just look for corner sponge filter like this one: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075BJJXDD?psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_ct_EG98SR38Z0W8SYWF9PPP I think that those filters are the best for shrimp. Very low flow, a lot of surface area, plus they don't take too much space in the tank.

@AquascapingCube Жыл бұрын

I was cycling it only for 1 week. Later there was no need. Shrimp have very low bioload, and there is nothing else living in this tank. Besides all the plants were from established tanks so I guess some bacteria were on them already. And I had zero problems with ammonia from day 1.

Hi. No worries, they will be fine :) The only thing you can expect is loss of coloring in next generations. If you are not sorting out the most colorful ones - they will be mixing with more generic (brown, transparent etc) and the base color (red, blue, orange etc.) will get worse.
