epic Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 I have a 72 bow I can use for shrimp. Would it be overkill for such small animals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metageologist Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 I keep RCS in a 75 with CPD. I don't have tons but probably around 100 the CPD keep them in check. have a gneiss day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcimedes Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm going to be setting up a planted 160g soon, and going to be starting the tank off with shrimp, hopefully. Never kept shrimp in a tank that size, so will be interesting to see how many it takes before you even notice them in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappie49 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I have a 100g planted tank with TB, crystals, cherries and the odd misc and I go days without seeing certain shrimp. And babies are next to impossible to find until they get a good size. Before I set it up I'd read concerns about breeding such as males been able to find females in large tanks but I have loads of berried shrimp and my King Kong had been berried and missing for over a week but turned up two days ago minus her eggs so I'm on the look out for baby TBs now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epic Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I am excited about setting up the 72 for shrimp. I bought black diamond abrasive last night. I like a black substrate, I have gravel in it now. This tank has a 20gal. sump, I have to figure a way to screen the built in overflow. The sump is going to be the filter.

Elo500 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I had a 36g bowfront, not for shrimp, but hated working on it because it was 24" deep. My shoulders got wet. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 That's why I love my 30 Breeder since it's only 12" high so don't even get hands wet unless I really want too lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
