Shrimp!

Post by Kurai61 »

I got shrimp recently! I’m very excited about them; they’re in a 2.5 gallon tank. I’ve also seen two molts!

Nice looking setup. One of my tanks is a Dennerle nano cube too. You do not need the filter, they actually do better without one.

Thank you! And I ended up getting your advice about not using gravel from my freshwater tank AFTER I set up and decorated my tank for an hour (which I ended up changing away afterward lol). I didn't really wash the gravel since I was afraid of getting rid of beneficial bacteria, so I bought a sponge filter with low flow to use for a few weeks. I also turn it off at night.

Really great looking tank! Thanks for sharing a photo. How many shrimp did you add to your tank? Any snails? 8)

I ordered 20 shrimps, but I suspect the shipper added extra (I forgot to count them before putting them in lol). And yes! I absolutely love snails; there’s about 6 MTS, and even one super tiny baby one! It’s only a millimeter long!
