I'm going to be setting up some shrimp specific tanks in the next month and I'm new to shrimp so need some advice.
Ill be keeping only cherry shrimp but a variety of colours so the set up needs to be for a very small breeding colony.
My questions are-
How small is too small as far as tank size?
Should I buy 1 large divided tank or several small ones?
I want to run a sponge filter in each section separately but off one air pump- is this possible?
What's the best way to heat multiple small tanks?
If i do go for a large divided tank, is glass dividers best or should I go for mesh etc for better cobtrol of heating and filtration?
Do I need shrimp specific substrate if I'm only keeping cherry shrimp? My tap PH is 7.8 and current community tank does well with it
Sorry if these questions seem stupid- I just want to get it right the first time!
