Ghost Shrimp Experiment?!

[Conski]

Well i have a 1.5gal tank doing nothing, i was thinking about getting some sand, putting it in there and letting it cycle. Afterwards planting it a little bit and just adding 1 or 2 ghost shrimp just for the hell of it!

Does this sound like a good idea? I figured cause they are so small not putting my filter in? and how does feeding them work when they have no scavenging to do... just little flakes sinking to the bottom for them to devour?

2 shrimp wont eat too much, and they wont produce much waste. I almost made a filterless 20 that was going to have shrimp. I think yo ucan do it if you have the right amount of plants.

Alright sounds good! I am gonna add gravel and a very little filter and plant it the crap out of it i already looked up the plants they like so im gonna give this a shot

i would get something tiny like an Azoo palm filter for some movement and aeration.
