SAF Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hey everyone. I currently have a 30L aquaone cube tank. It currently houses 1 betta, 2 oto catfish and about 2-4 cherry shrimps. The tank has a java moss rock,java fern, anubias on driftwood with more java moss and subwassertang and small handful of water sprite floating around the top. I was thinking of adding some more shrimps into the tank. Would that be an overload for the tank ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever_and_a_day Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 ^agreed. shrimp usually have a negligible bio-load :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Nut Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Only thing I would do in a tank of that size, is ensure my otocinclus were getting enough food. Not sure if you are supplementing their diet, but it is something to be mindful of as it is not unknown for otos to starve to death. I do prefer to see them in groups of at least four, but that would be pushing it in a 30L tank. As everyone else mentioned, shrimp have a very low bioload. Watersprite is also a very good nutrient sponge so it should help your filter in absorbing any extra ammonia being produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAF Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 excellent.. I'm hoping to pick up approx 10 crs and 10 cherry shrimps. Atm there is alittle bit of algae in the tank but as soon as that goes i was planning on getting some algae wafer and using blanched vegies. @2revheads - thanks mate.

forever_and_a_day Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 just be careful your crs don't end up as expensive snacks! D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAF Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 i think blanka would be too docile. He doesnt even notice the cherry shrimps in the tank now. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Nut Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 That's because he is probably a gourmet Why settle for cherry, when you can have so much more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
