New Breeding Tank?

Post by Purplelizard9 »

Hi!
I would like to set up a breeding tank for a hobby and fun.

What size tank would be acceptable and are there any specific/special requirements or peramiters needed?

How many shrimp should I start off with?

How fast do they reproduce.... Are they like neocaridina/caridina?

Best Wishes,

Cindy

No special requirements, just follow Mustafa's method https://www.petshrimp.com/set-up-a-supe ... tructions/, have males and females, and they should eventually start breeding.

As for how rapidly they breed, in my case the original 20 shrimp I got increased to about 160 in two and a half years. Mine started breeding a matter of months after getting them, but some here have had to wait much longer.

Seems like a lot of people breeding have about a 10-20 gallon tank. But I'm sure any size works
