Tiniest habitat?

Post by Flippers »

Hi! It’s been a while since I’ve logged on here...
I am seeking advice regarding tiny homes for my tiny shrimp. I would like to gift a little habitat to my brother for his 21st birthday. His desk is small and I found the littlest jar at Joann’s that would be perfect. It is 3.15in by 3.35in, so about 22~in^3 which is about a cup and a half of water. Going by the guide of 33 shrimp a gallon, I could fit 3 shrimp in here, right? (16 cups in a gallon). Is this too small for shrimp? Are my calculations correct? My brother would, of course, open the top once a week as advised by others in the group.

Update: I bought the big one. It doesn’t have dimensions so I’m going to have to figure it out.
