Aquarium for shrimps – “Shrimp tank”

An excellent substitute option for aquarists with limited time and space. Tiny crustaceans require little care, and a tiny container won’t take up much room.

A shrimp tank can be made out of any small aquarium, but setting it up will only need the purchase of a special container. These aquarium manufacturers combine a stunning design with all the essential components that are pre-installed, such as lighting, a heater, and a filter.

Whether you want to keep shrimp alone or with fish will determine whether you should get an aquarium or a shrimp tank. An aquarium that is larger than specialized shrimp containers is required in the second scenario, while a special shrimp tank will suffice in the first.

If all the required equipment isn’t built in, you’ll need to purchase it separately. You can select a model at a pet store that does.

The minimum set for equipping a shrimp tank includes

• lighting; • heater; • thermometer; • aeration-functioning filter.

In addition to the items listed above, the following are required to start a shrimp mini-pond:

A net and a breeding tank with nearly invisible holes to prevent tiny shrimp from escaping; tongs required for planting plants; decorative rear background; soil, the color of which depends on the intended landscape; • STOCTIONS: Snags, ceramic items, and stones.

Some tips on the content of shrimp

1. Avoid crowding similar kinds of shrimp together as the outcomes of their mating may not always be favorable;

2. Invest in a few shrimp filters, which are pricey but work wonders as orderlies;

3. Pay attention to the temperature; shrimp should be kept between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius at all times;

4. Begin with the easiest and most understated shrimp varieties—no more than three at first—and only move on to more difficult varieties after you’ve gained some experience;

5. Set up a weekly fasting day and feed shrimp premium feed;

6. If the shrimp pass away or if mucus accumulates on the snag, don’t give up. Examine the available resources on this issue and speak with an aquarist with greater experience.
