1 Gal Tank Question

[DrKebab]

Are ghost shrimps good for 1 gallon tanks? And I plan on using it as an egg aquarium for my cory's or live guppy babies. Would ghost shrimps eat the babies?

hmm, not sure about fry... as for the eggs, they may become munchies.... as far as the tank size, Im not 100% positive, but I think it might me a little small... we shall wate for more responses

The shrimp by themselves in the 1g should be fine. Guppy & cory fry should be ok but corie eggs as NicW pointed out could get munched on.

Yay, I like ebing wrie about something, it makes me feel good.... Keep us posted... why dont you look into RCS instead of ghost shimp, youll get a nice colony going, Ive had them breed well in a 1gal, though, some say no less than a 5 or 10 gallon is good for a colony, if you need to thin out the group, baby RCS make good munchies for other fish


Shield, btw, the 55gal is going as a FOWLR tank... sorry for the off topic but, ehh itll be fine lol

Ah thanks for your help, would RCS eat the cory's?

[Nic W]

if you mean eat the eggs, you run that risk with pretty much anything... but if you do want shrimp in the tank, atleast get something that will look nice and you wont have to search for...
