I have a quarantine tank which is rarely empty as I quarantine for a long time and have had a rolling programme to stock my main tank. Now that the main tank is fully stocked I shall have the QT without fish for a few months and would like to keep it running and keep the filters healthy ready for when I buy more fish. I would normally just chuck in some ammonia every now and then but I keep a colony of red cherry shrimp in the QT. I know - at strange thing to do but they were overflow from the main tank and they keep the QT nice and clean.
So, my question is, at last I hear you say, will a well fed shrimp tank keep my filters fully cycled until I buy new fish or could I add a little ammonia now and then, just a few drops, to feed the filters or will this kill the shrimp?
Any opinions welcome ?.
