I have a 10g tank, recently started. My tank is heated by the room, temp ranging from 68-90+ (estimation for Wisconsin apartment a/c used sparingly)
I plan to plant it more extensively but currently only has some italian val. I want to get some sort of fauna for this tank, and am leaning toward shrimp or crayfish. Ideally, these would breed and be viable diet supplements for a fish (sunfish?) that I would keep in another larger tank. I like the idea of crayfish because ultimately im interested in a Wisconsin native tank and they would fit that better than shrimp, but I like what seems like the ease of breeding of shrimp (correct me if Im wrong). Also my tank does not have a lid yet. I know this will be a problem for shrimp, would crayfish jump or climb out of my tank? Does this setup seem viable? How difficult is it to breed crayfish? Shrimp? How fast would each multiply?
