Do Cherry Red Shrimp need air???

[ridehardorgohome]

I'm running a nano and was wondering if they could do without the air, The tank has a built in filtration so there is current that produces O2,but is that enough???

Im not sure if I understand. It has a filter right? I think thats enough.

If the water is aerated they are fine. The filter should be sufficient.

what about no filter but the tank is planted?

^wondering the same thing

It has a great filtration system to it and I have several different plants I just dont like the way it bubbles look,

Are you asking if they need supplemental air? No, The filter is plenty.

Can they be kept in tanks without filters? Depends on your maintenance, how many plants, etc. Its a delicate balance.

They are fine without an airstone.
