CAN I PUT RCS IN A 1/2 Gallon tank

[CraigRets]

Hey all, just wondering if I could put a few RCS in 1/2 gallon tank and breed them. Thanks!

Yes, but VERY few. That is not a good size for breeding. You could only have about 5 RCS or so in a .5 gallon. 5+ gallons is much better for breeding. I have my supreme red RCS in a 10 gallon.

its not about luck its about the bioload. You'll have very low shrimplet surival rates in such a small tank.
