Im looking to set up a 10g tank for a red cherry shrimp colony and had a few questions.
I ordered a sponge filter and wanted to know if I run the filter in my established 15g community tank will I be able to move the shrimp and the filter over to the new tank at the same time. If so how long should I run the sponge filter in my old tank. If not what is the best way to get the new tank cycled and ready for the shrimp (~20).
What would be the best plants to put in for the shrimp, have a bag of eco complete substrate coming with the filter and I have a 15w standard hood light. I would want to stay low light no co2. Also wondering if red ramshorn snails would bother the young shrimp.
Any other advice on setting up this tank or growing a red cherry shrimp colony would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
