1ft Cube Cherry Shrimp Tank

[Star-flog]

I've kept this 1ft cube tank for about 6 months now and the plants (Taiwan moss, floating Riccia) has been so successfully grow they're almost reaching the half-tank mark and the floating Riccia block the light.

Also, my Cherry shrimp started with only 5 now is more than 150 pieces and also lots of snails. This is a very mature tank which I only top-up the water twice weekly and one PC fan to cool the water.

The question: Would the Cherry shrimp over populated and causing problem?

star flog, seems like u are concern over ur population of ur shrimps.....why not give them some to me...hehee...i'll be more than glad to adopt them!

hi, heh i think 150 cherries in a 1 ft cube tank is almost or rather at the highest bioload, it should not be deadly but i think 80 - 100 is more 'breathable' for them heh. Well iof you thinking of selling your shrimps cheap let me know, i have no such luck with shrimps.. started with 40 now dont even have 40 i think max 20 only heh

Cannister & IOS filteration is much better..

for a 1 ft cube, i believe a HOT filter is more than sufficient considering the fact that you can stuff some ceramic rings inside even. The internal filter is more for less loss of Co2. Yup and also IOS is not really recommended... Best is get an Eden 316 or even a HOT filter. No prob. Add more plants and moss that will help in nitrate intake so bioload not so bad

[jon409]

sorry .wat are HOT filter? and why not IOS? thanks . pls advise
