Hello all!
This is my 10 gallon tiger shrimp tank, its not much but they seem happy
I picked up a 55 hex with allot of other fish and these guys..the owner said there was about 40 and when we got there, the numbers were closer to 200!, sold some of them off to get down to the numbers have now.
Some show allot of blue! others have red stripes Im thinking of separating them out and trying to breed for those traits Anyway here is the tank and some shrimp shots^_^
Questions/comments are welcomed!
Im new to shrimp so any constructive criticism is appreciated
The tank is filtered with what is rated as a 50 gallon sponge filter that came with there tank, java moss, anubia floating plants, pennywort, and one log and substrate all from there original tank.
Feeding is every other day small potions of one of the following: algae wafers, thawed blood worms, Omega one tropical flakes, canned unsalted green beans,or thawed zucchini, and on W/C days for the other tanks i randomly pull out a clump of plants and toss it in to the shrimp tank where they swarm it picking it clean ^_^.
Im really enjoying having a shrimp only tank.!!
5-6 of the large females have berried up in the last few weeks of me having them in the 10 gallon
How many can I safely keep in this tank before needing to thin the herd?
(got a new camera for the b-day so lots of pics testing it out)
look at all the red!!! (and water spots^_^)
