24litre Taiwan Bee Tanks

[Aiden123]

Been planning some more shrimp tanks for a while now and can't quite decide on the set up.

 

I have got a spare tank stand that is 77cm wide. I have seen some very cheap 24 litre tanks at petsathome (England's equivalent to Petco I think?) and 3 would fit perfectly next to each other on the stand. 

 

In an ideal world, I would have red tbs in one tank, blue tbs in another and black tbs in the last. Would 24 litres be sufficient for a small breeding colony? Culls or excessive would just go into my 90 litre mixed tank or be sold off. 

 

Tank dimensions are: 

 

40(W) x 25.5 (D) x 28cm (H)

 

Thanks in advance

In general yes. The smaller the tank the harder to keep parameters stable, which is the only issue. 

 

You can also consider dividing the big tank into three sections. You will have stable parameters but on the downside should any plague hit, all shrimp will be infected.

Hi Aiden

I live in England as well.I manage to keep around 5 bb and about 30 baby shrimp in 12 litre for quite some time now with no problem.

Thanks
