i used to have a 30cm cube but the shrimps keep jumping out.. shld be nice if its just mosses... perharps should bring the tank to my office and give it a try
I set up a 1 ft x 20 cm x 20 cm tank three weeks ago, using 1/2 cm of lonestar gravel, java and xmas moss tied to steel mesh for the bottom and a small wood with java moss and fern. Lighting is one 15W PL, on 3-4 hours in the evening. No filter, no fert, no fan. Houses 2 ottos, 3 tiny kuhli loaches, 2 bumblebee gobies and a number of Malayan shrimp. Water change = about 50 percent untreated tap water weekly.
What is curious is the disparate fate of Malayan shrimp in my tanks. In my main 3 fter, they mostly survive but hide as there are many fish about. My 2 fter, however, sees Malayan shrimp (but not yamatoes) dying off quite frequently. Those in the mini tank, though, are growing red and fat and I found tiny reddish ones under the wood too.
they are curious little shrimp indeed.

without water circulation and surface irritation, is there cause for concern of breeding mosquitoes?
i don't see any problem. That's what the gobies are for.
what if its a shrimp only tank?
put a puffer in it? but have to feed it tho..

i tried having a shrimp only tank before and it didnt breed mosqito
In HDB flats, it's difficult to breed mosquitoes. I tried before..shooo... pls keep it a secret.
I've seen yamato shrimps go for frozen bloodworms and live brineshrimp, I don't see why Malayans wouldn't either. From this, I suspect shrimps will eat mosquito larvae too if they can get their little claws on them.
