What To Do With A 20L Tank?

[benjoey]

I moved my 4 harlequin rasboras to a new 110L tank 2 weeks ago now I have a 20L tank free. I know I should probably keep this free for a hospital tank but I was thinking I could keep something in there then if I need to use it as a hospital tank I could move the inhabitants to y bigger tank. Whatdo you guys think?

Keep it as a hospital tank. Moving inhabitants from tank to tank just makes it more likely that you'll spread diseases around.

probably the best idea lol, do you think keeping a couple of cherry shrimp in there would be ok? and moving them over if needed? Otherwise loks like it will be a tank for plants lol

Yeah, a couple of shrimp will be fine. 20L is not enough for any fish long term.

You'll still be risking cross contamination so I wouldn't, but it's up to you really.

OK, we all know that isn't true.

Based on what? 20Ltrs is fine, as long as it's kept as a small community or a single fish.

I would say amano shrimp would be good in there, plus less chance of them multiplying (unless you wanted to breed). I'd say 4 in there.

Or crystal and cherry shrimp.
