Tetra and Fluval Cube aquarium filter safe for shrimp?
Posted: Tue May 19, 2015 10:50 am
Hello,
I am new to this forum and new to keeping shrimp. I have had fresh and saltwater tanks before, but never a tank dedicated just to shrimp. I am wondering about 2 things.
1. Has anyone had any experience with the Tetra LED Cube 3-Gallon Aquarium or the Fluval Spec aquarium series and if these tank filter setups are safe for keeping shrimp and fry? I am wondering if I need to epoxy any mesh or foam over the intake or if it is safe for shrimp fry. If yes, what would you recommend I use and how would I go about attaching the mesh or foam?
2. I am also wondering what types of plants I can keep with the LED light the tanks include. I have heard that some plants need a full specturm LED wheras others are ok with just regular LED's.
Any help anyone can offer would be great.
Thank you. I really appreciate this forum and the help you all are giving to people new to the hobby. I plan on getting a few of these tanks in order to keep different breeds separate.
