Once i get back up and going good im going to put together several shrimp only tanks and was wondering what size tanks woek best for you. Im kinda wanting something smaller than 10 gal but not sure how well they would work thanks for the help all

Disclaimer: I don't qualify as a shrimper. But, I am using an all-in-one Eclipse 6 to raise my first batch of RCS. I've added a Fluval pre-filter sponge to the uptake (#A1387), fits perfectly, and the tiny shrimp can get away from the suction. (I found that the pump had too much trouble with panty hose restricting the flow.)

I like the size, it's easy to get into and out out, is very quiet, and it comes complete, except for heater. I got mine last year for about $35us from wallmart.

Drawbacks are that you'd have trouble hanging a breeding cup or anything else since the rim blocked by the hood.

I'd suggest 20longs. shrimp look for surface area and 20longs have the most.

20 G Long x2..... a lot of breeders use 20 G longs.
