Re: Snails and macro algae

Thanks. Just to clarify. I do feed my shrimp as described. I thought I would have to increase feeding for the sake of the snails.

I have 5 super shrimp in a 1 gallon brackish aquarium. I am thinking of adding 10 snails and the macro algae. I have several questions: 1. Does the algae produce oxygen? 2.

Too cold to order?

Filter?

I am contemplating setting up a tank for "SuperShrimp". I have a two gallon plexiglass tank with a built in under gravel filter and a light. Would using the filter be harmful or helpful for the shrimp? Once the algae starts growing and shrimp are introduced is the light harmful or helpful?
