californiashrimp Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I have a trio of blood red swordtails and 3 pairs of real red eyed albino red finned guppies coming in this week. I have two tanks set up for them. I am going to be breeding them, with the goal of producing colorful offspring worthy of selling to other breeders. To do this I will need to take excellent care of them, have pristine water conditions, feed them right, etc. Having kept demanding shrimp I feel up to it but fish are just so different. I have cared for a lot more shrimp than i have fish. I will post pictures when they arrive this Wednesday. I am very excited!

Shrimp Life Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Shrimp are more demanding then the fish. Just make sure you have cycled tanks ready for them. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiashrimp Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yes, tanks are cycled. I currently am running DIY canister filter 596 gph with 2 gallons of Seachem Matrix media in the main tank for biological filtration, plus a sponge filter. In the fry tank I have 2 cycled sponge filters going. The main tank is a 30 gallon tall (it's what I had) while the fry tank is a ten gallon. I am buying some frogbit and duckweed today for cover.
