Want to setup a shrimp bowl in my just finished upstairs kitchen. Just the small cherry shrimp size. this way I can breed them and put them in my other tanks as well.
Any tips?
Bigger the bowl the better, buy shrimplets as opposed to fully grown, but more than you think you need (expect some to die), try and match the water they were born in, lots of plants, establish the bowl for a while before adding shrimp, do small water changes and watch NO3, shrimp do not like NO3.
Do they need heated water? How many gallons? Filter? etc etc
They do best in a non-heated tank, so now heater. Up to you how big, but get the largest one space / money / wife will allow. No filter, but I would look for a super low flow pump, or a small air pump to provide some flow.
Im looking to put plants in it. Will they jump out if there is no lid?
They will not jump, mine do because fish chase them, but if left alone they will not jump. I would do a bunch of moss / jave fern / floating plants / anubias / small crypts, but plants are all subjective to the owner
Thanks
