IS ALL POOP CREATED EQUAL?

[fishycat]

I agree with that - my neon tetra poop is about 4 times the thickness of shrimp poop. I definitely think you can have a very large group of shrimp in a 10g before any issue arises.

Plants will also impact this scenario...

OK, I am a biologist by training. So fiber decomposition would affect the pH of the water, making the water more basic, but would not add any nitrogenous waste (ammonia etc.). Protein decomposition would affect the nitrogenous waste. Also, shrimp being scavengers, would probably be more efficient at digesting their food, so proportionately more of their waste would be fiber.

Cool! Thanks! (and thanks, Platytudes)

Does this all mean that since I'm a vegan I can poop in the tanks?

No

But I bet you could compost it!

I do believe this conversation is decomposing as we go.

This seems like a crappy time to join in......
