Nu-Nu the eel said:Im tryin to set up a shrimp tank as well, but bobody knows much abt them so ill try and help. First you need java moss. Shrimp eat it, and lay their eggs in it. Second- any type of roccks will do. The types of shrimp that are good for beginers are ghost shrimp and red cherry shrimp! They are hardy and breed like crazy. Do u plan on breeding them? If so u need a sponge filter so the fry dont get sucked up and killed. Its pretty easy to keep shrimp, so enjoy!
Nu-Nu the eel said:Sure thing. And they are difficult to find at lfs so i suggest getting them online. U said 6 gallon right? That means u can have abt 50-60 shrimp and sponge filters are cheap for a tank that size. The rcs are one of the easiest shrimp to breed, but dont put anyother fish in the tank because u dont want the fry to get eaten. And like i said before java moss is good for shrimp! Gooooooood luck!
Nu-Nu the eel said:Ya totally. Try to get abt 10 rc shrimp in the begining so ur odds of breeding are better. Also there are TONS of differant types of shrimp, so explore them all!
