How come they are all same sized...? You seperate babies from adults?

That's amazing! Thanks for sharing the pictures. What is your 20 gal set up like? That's A LOT of shrimp! I'm still a bit new to keeping shrimp, so it amazes me when that many shrimp can be kept in a tank.... By the way, does anyone know what (if any) the limit is on shrimp population per volume (gallon)?

Tranr why test the limits! The bigger the population, the less growth and more stress the shrimps have.

Smaller populations in tanks result in bigger births.

Max I would say someone would want to have in a 10 gallon would be 150 adults, and it better be planted

It actually depends more on surface area and bioload than water volume. with more plants, it will increase surface area providing places for shrimp to hide and increase bioload by absorbing some of the tosic nitrogen from shrimp waste. I've kept 200+ shrimp in a 2 gallon before. 90% were not full grown. That should give you an idea of how many shrimo you could keep in a tank.

What kind of substrate do you use?
