I got this for free

Title is correct and yes I know it isnt the cleanest right now. I got this from an older guy my sister took care of in a nursing home. He was no longer able to care for his fish and gave me this setup and he gave my sister a complete 180 gallon salt water setup. They are all 20 gallon longs. Im gonna be using one side for breeding live bearers to be used for turtle food. The other side I gonna try keeping shrimp but im not sure what species yet. I was thinking of the cherry shrimp but i may try to find something a little more exotic. What do you guys think?
Thats just a spare 10 gallon im just storing in there for now.

Next time i head over to my sisters ill get a few pics of the salt setup. Its pretty empty right now. It came with a nice size sailfin tang, tomato clown, 4 stripe damsel, and a coral beauty angel. The angel died while moving the tank but everyone else is doing good. Shes also aquired a few others since getting it. She bought maybe 20-30 hermit crabs, 20 or so snails and 2 very large conchs.

As far as shrimp for my tank i was looking at getting maybe the yellow shrimp or super tiger shrimp. They are a little more expensive but it doesnt seem they are very popular yet. What do the ninja shrimp look like?

Great pickup!! You could keep one a shrimp and microcrab tank! That would be very cool!
......and the little voice inside my head is yelling--don't forget about the dwarf crayfish!!

 

[yayfish24]

The micro crabs and dwarf crayfish would be cool. Maybe ill do the micro crabs. It looks as if I could make a few bucks if I can get them to breed.

Wow, you're so lucky. free tanks are a dream. I say neolamprologus multifasciatus breeding tank in one and a nice ADA style planted tank in the other.
