filter for breeding tank
RIght now I have a 20 gal planted tank with about the entire bottow covered in dwarf hairgrass. One corner has some stem plants and there is a piece of driftwood in the other corner. Right now I am just running a powerhead for water movement and i have a few ottos in there to get any algea that might pop up on the glass. My question is, what type of filtration should I use? I don't k now what kind of a bio-load cherry red shrimp cause and I want to try to breed them. Thanks for any help.

I like a penguin power filter with this prefilter:

Hi,
I have a very easy solution.
I use a half a sponge that that are normally used for Aquaclear.
I make and X with some scissors cutting half way down the sponge.
Then just shove it over the filet intake.
I have found that this works very well for baby livebearers.
The only thing is that you need to squeeze it clean every so often.

PS I have tried the fine-meshed net/panty hose and they clog up to fast.
Hope this helps,
