Hi,

Anyone here tried a bare bottom tank to keep shrimpps? I am thinking to do so cos don't like the idea of dirt and unfinished food trapped in the substrate.

Thanks.

bare bottom can still keep neo like cherry, yellow shrimps...

but if want to keep caridina like PRL, CRS... definitely need the soil to buffer the water to lower PH...

you can put the substrate in a plastic container and submerge it into the water if u dun want to spread it all over the tank... actually i think this is a better option... easier to change substrate once the soil loses its PH buffer...

Can , but it will be very bare
Then itchy hand syndrome will kick in

Some people will opt for sand so nothing will go down and stay on top just vacuum once a while

Shrimp dun produce a lot of waste and will clean up food . Add some floats to suck the nitrates it will be doable

Many lfs shrimp tank are abit like this

ya, itchy hand syndrome.....

break or not will be one issue.
another thing is you need to drill holes.

you need to let the plants take root before adding yamato.
esp so for foreground plants.

Drill is not a problem . But drill would cause it to break ? :S22:

Flowerpot Jin sexpensive... I need one at least 25cm diameter and 30cm depth

Some of us tend to stock the female which are larger, some goes for pregnant ones, some goes for male ones. So shrimp owners usually will examine each bag to find the right ones.

Umm....we buy only when the "home" is fully setup properly...mine was setup six weeks before shrimp introduction. It was perhaps less than 1/3 flooded to cultivate fauna.

Soil base helps not only to stabilise water parameter but trap uneaten food. We siphon them easily.

bare base the thinker here is, it flies. ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾飞呀飞呀
