Shrimp population growth -- new tank?

Post by muaddib »

Hello,

I have a one gallon tank with 10 shrimp. Recently, three females were berried at the same time, leading to an influx of baby shrimp in the tank, around 15 right now (and one female still has 5 eggs). Is a gallon tank big enough for this population growth, or should I start cycling a larger tank? And if so, how long should I wait before transferring the baby shrimp?

Thanks!

Your one gallon will be more than adequate for many years to come. :)
