Fish Tank Id

SchottayB · Feb 18, 2010

Looking for a tank to use for just shrimp, any good ideas on a small(ish) tank that looks great used as a shrimp tank and planted?

I was thinking of a fish tank that doesnt have seals on the edges, and has a light hanging over the top of it...

Can't think what that tank is called?

Thanks

Warehouse Aquatics online, or Pets at home I believe do them, or Fish store.

Only found two on ebay

New: £63 in p&p

Used: Bids at £15 with 9 days left :\

... I'll take a trip down pets at home tomorrow as it's only 5mins down the road from me, see if they sell them in there for cheapish, if they don't i'll go with warhouse aquatics, they have free delivery if you spend over £50 and that 35l happens to be £50.02

Well i'm going to be using this tank as a shrimp / planted tank...

Any ideas on what Watt heater i'd need for it? Going for the 35L version. It will only be homed to differnt kinds of shrimp.

Also, I have a 60L tank setup now, it's been setup for over a year, how much of my filter media can I take away from it to add into the new tank?

And would I be able to take enough of my media from my 60L tank, to put into the 35L tank to house shrimp straight away? ... Realy don't want any fish in this tank... and fishless cycle is a no go for me sadly :\

Thanks!

Have you seen the denerle shrimp kits? they come with everything bar a heater because shrimp don't need one. They're a little more expensive but you get some nice equipment.
