    can i ask if i want to do a breeding tank for shrimps, a 1 ft tank, with gravel and moss will do ?

    Filter, it seems from the replies, are not a must. how about lighting ? do i need to install a lamp ?

    thanks for advising as i thought of breeding CRS in a separate tank from my 2.5 feet tank. I will have a lot cardinal tetras in that tank, which i feared may eat my baby shrimps.

    chows99, lighting really depends on what plants you intend to have in your tank? whether also room light or natural light sources are available as additional supplement source of light

    It's better to have some form of lighting, cause crs are also a living creature. There need to be a day time and night time. Otherwise will disrupt their sleeping pattern. Preferably no other fishes if you intend to keep a breeding tank. I used to have boraras in my breeding crs tank. But only will see the shrimplets after removing the boraras. Not too sure if boraras ate them or the shrimplets are into hideout. But otos are ok.
    God will make a way, where there seems to be no way

    would suggest to install a filter. water quality plays a part in maintaining their colors.

    they just make the most of everything that comes along their way


    When will there be 25 letters in the alphabets?

    The cardinals will eat the babies. Again ottos are the sure safe fish to keep with shrimp.
