It is a 20 gallon cycled tank that only has 3 spaced out plants in it. My water is very hard, however, I filtered it before I put it into my tank.okay to start off with we are going to need a little more info on your tank. namely.
how big is it (not that this really matters for shrimp)
is it cycled.
is it planted if so how densely.(pics could work)
what are your water conditions (one can find this on your water suppliers website)
sorry for all the questions but we need to know so that we can give you the answer to your question.
I use a carbon filter to filter the water, but I don't know its exact level. I can't seem to find it on my water suppliers website. I can buy the test kit if you think it is necessary.okay so shrimps prefer a high density of plants as this allows them to move about the tank in relitive safety. they also do better in hard water but exactly how hard is your water.
The live bearers will eat the shrimp. Live bearers will eat anything that fits in their mouth.I was thinking about getting some shrimp to add to my tank. My tank has 6 platys, 3 mollies, and 2 swordtails.
The live bearers will eat the shrimp. Live bearers will eat anything that fits in their mouth.
Ok. I have yet to call and find out my water hardness level, but for this sake what would be an appropriate level?most fish will eat anything that fits in there mouths.
Could I get amano shrimp.? I hear they get pretty big and would not fit in my fishes mouths.
