countryboy12484 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Im sure this is gonna be one of those topics that everyone has there own opinion on, but can you have too much flow in a shrimp tank? I have a toms mini rapids canister filter on a 10 gallon tank.. Think its over kill on the flow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 As long as there's a place where shrimps can relax, it's good. If shrimps are fighting against a current the whole time, they be stressed. That's what I think. EricM and eozen81 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 You should be okay. I used to like gentle flow everywhere but I have a few tanks in them there's little to no flow and shrimps are thriving. So now I think it's not necessary.

aquariumlover10 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Most shrimp come from swamps or small slow moving streams in the wild, for instance, ghost shrimp, come from ditches and swamps in southern us states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eozen81 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Related with flow, I observed the first time I added my shrimps into the tank, it was discovering the tank and once he came by the outflow of cannister filter, it really didn't enjoy it and now since it learnt that place to avoid I can easily see that it always avoids and bypassing the outflow area of the cannister filter. countryboy12484 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
