Freshwater Shrimp tank

[Tony Feathers]

Our youngest son is wanting to setup a freshwater shrimp tank. Anyone have experience with these?

 

[A+Aquatics]

Has he decided on the size of the system and the specific shrimp species?

We have a 20 gallon tank to be used. He likes the small ghost shrimp is all i know about them.

Ghost Shrimp are relatively easy.
I'm so glad he has decided to join you on your aquatic journey Tony!
I have raised ghost shrimp in a 10 gallon and they are fun and quite simple.

Used to have Red cherry shrimps with morimo, anubias and on fine substrate on 3g.

Do red cherry shrimp agreed. Many Google sites will ship them to you cheap. Theyll live in the same water basic guppies live in

Hey friend yes Sir doing well I added a second kessil to hit the brain coral from the side it’s growth caused shading and receding

oops that was my reef one, per this one above here’s recent update all grown in taken last week:

I painted half the leds in liquid electrical tape to block lighting, less algae

I really enjoy the size referencing there! Wow, such a neat size. I believe the smallest display I once setup was an 8 liter marine with sexy shrimp and softies. I miss such a low maintenance system, I remember watching those little fellas for hours, capturing video and photo's.

Did you custom fabricate that lighting arm? It looks really neat, I haven't seen something like that come with an aquarium before. Is it submerged inside the display or is it attached to the back of the glass on the exterior? It is difficult to see, but I'm quite curios!

*****EDIT*****
I see the arm now, in one of the earlier photo's. That looks really interesting. Where did you come up with that, a custom design or a purchase?

Photo' #3
What is that white debris on the bottom left of the display edge? Food, eggs, sand or some sort of substrate?

Photo' #4
Some of those plants look really happy and healthy. Was this in the middle of a water change?

I will check out your other project so I know what you are meaning about your kessil lighting.
