Hello, I was jsut curious on how a shrimp only tank can hold a cycle, does it have to be a certain amount of shirmp to hold it? or is haveing just a few ok? I myself don't have a shirmp tank but I was just curious about the shrimp only setup

thank you

A shrimp tank holds a cycle just fine. The bacteria just adjust to the shrimp load in your tank. Plus, it's always helpful to have a few fast growing stem plants in the tank with shrimp, which can also absorb some of the waste products.
