Dluxeshrimps Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I want to have a small jar with 2 RCS in it. Do I really have to have any filtration in the tank. I will need no heater since my office is warm all year long. but if I could just have the jar itself with no filtration or bubbler that be great. is this possible or not?

Pokeshrimp Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I have an old 2 gallon tea jug that i turned into a no tech window sill tank. I've been tossing culls in there and haven't noticed any deaths yet. I just do top offs and maybe a 50% water change once every few months.

svetilda Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I had a couple of bowls without a filter or bubbler and the shrimp in them were fine. I had some babies in one bowl and 3 adult in the other one. But I cleaned the substract every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go over everything, have all these pumps, filtration, refugium, heater with some remote temperature gagety thingy, etc, etc, and ýou sick them in a 2 gal jar on the windowsill and they are happy! I think I'm gonna go to the thrift store and get some jars! jem_xxiii and Shrimp Life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimp lady Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 There's a guy here in my state and cultures Malawa shrimp in 1 gallon pickle jars on his east windowsill. It grows greenwater + rotifiers in them as well so I asked "What is a Malawa shrimp culture"? He replied " these are for feeders"! Who knew... I will get some now and try this too!
