Reply With QuoteRemove all fish. Plants can keep to provide biofilm and infusoria. But I would remove root plants.

Recent studies shows that putting recent studies in your statement have a higher percentage of trust people put into your recent studies. What?

Are you intending to breed them? If yes, it is better to keep it simple with crypt/moss or slow growing plants for easy scanning for shrimplets for culls. If not, you can do up a fully planted tank.
Easier for you to vacuum the substrate without worrying uprooting roots.

Just a shrimp only tank, not selective breeding so culls are okay. Maybe u could throw me some culls of yours ? Haha

Sorry just a quick question. . May I know why many don't like stem plants in a shrimp only tank? Does shrimo only means just moss or carpet plants

The main reason why shrimp-only tanks tend to be devoid of plants is because the owners are breeding them and prefer to be able to see all their shrimps so that they can easily catch and cull the low-grade offspring... in a planted tank with lots of stem plants, the shrimps have lots of places to hide and it'll be difficult to spot and catch them without uprooting the plants and creating a big mess.Originally Posted by AquaObsession

Like Naraki mentioned, if its a tank meant specifically for selectively breeding shrimps, then its best to have no plants or just plants tied to mesh or wood which are easy to shift around.
But if its just to keep shrimps for display and not specifically to breed higher-quality ones, then the tank can be heavily planted as there is no need to catch the shrimps after they are introduced.
Alright..thanks...
To those culling. .I can collect

Many shrimp-keepers don't like to plant stem plants is because of CO2 injection. It will cause wild swing in PH when CO2 is on. They don't wish to do harm to the precious shrimps subjecting their shrimps to the PH swing.
Not all stem plants require co2 though
