Hey guys,
Just picked up a 10g for free, and it came with a filter and such, but Im dumping all of that for new, because its not very clean at all. But with that out of the way, Id like to turn this into a planted shrimp tank. I really like Red Cherry Shrimp, so I figure the tank could be setup around them.
I need suggestions for the following:
Filter
Heater
Substrate
Lighting fixture
Bulbs
And anything else that would be needed.
How many shrimp can I put in a 10g, and should I add any other tank mates?
How do I cycle such a small tank? Should I get one uncooked shrimp from the supermarket and pop it in there and let it decay? How long is a cycle for a 10g typically?
I really liked GlitcH's 10g planted shrimp tank, so I'm going to check that out, but I do need suggestions. Thank you for all help in advance.
