I avoid working with anything smaller than a 10 gallon simply because I have to worry about the water conditions less. And there more space for the shrimp to swim around in.olga21;2466697; said:Ok, thanks for the help guys. I just did my 50 percent water change, so hopefully things will get better. I have them in a 5.5 gallon tank, is that to small?
You're lighting is probably sufficient for the Java moss, but I don't know how fast it would grow. Personally I like increased lighting in my shrimp tank because it helps my Duckweed grow faster and makes algae which both eats up nitrates and also provides food for the shrimps/snails to graze on.
