Meds in a shrimp tank.

Suzie Q · Post by **Suzie Q** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 5:22 am

Not that I need them, but what meds are used in a shrimp tank? I have my 5.5g community tank...about to get another 10g...with my Ghosties, but I also now have my RCS tank. I need to know what meds may need to be used, and what NOT to use. I don't want to use "Pimafix" in the tank if it will harm the shrimp. I know it should say that it does not hurt shrimp, but I need to know for sure what does and does not hurt these little guys.

Thanks everyone!

Why do you even need to use meds. in the first place? Do you have fish in there?

No, just shrimp..I have never owned shrimp before, so I have no idea what to expect.

If shrimps get sick, there is usually no cure. So meds. is not even necessary. If you have good water conditions, food, and without any predators in that tank, you should be able to breed shrimps easily.
