RCS Tank

[Loukas42]

I have a 10 gallon planted tank and want to make it an shrimp only tank. How many shrimp can I have?

 

[tarpon]

What type of shrimp are you planning on?

 

[Sake]

You can start a colony with 10 or so shrimp, and for a 10 gallon depending on your plants and filtration, you can have upwards of 10 shrimp per gallon. I've seen videos where people had 20+ per gallon.

Probably RCS because I know they are the easiest.

+1

And if u start with around 10 you'll have more soon

Okay sweet. And how long should I wait to put them in my tank. Are they sensitive ?

 

[MABJ]

They're very sensitive. I'd make sure your tank is cycled and planted. Plants are a must. Be very careful with them!

You can drip acclimate if you want. May not be necessary but helps you insure its a smooth transition

Yeah I've got plants in now, should be receiving my shipment of more plants today or tomorrow. And alright sounds good.
