The added deitrus + bio-film etc that grows on the substrate can add the benefit of becoming an extra food source for shrimps so to speak...
although you are quite right in saying one could go barebottom just as easily for ease of maintence...

Hmm, in a 1 gallon the water is very unique stable so in my opinion if you're gonna go with a 1 gallon you'd try to make it as stable as possible. If you wanted to add extra biofilm for food for the shrimp then wouldn't putting small sticks of driftwood do it?
Didnt realize we were talking about a tank that small... i was thinking maybe 5-10G would make a decent start for a shrimp breeding project...
If it was a mere 1G, then yes, absolute min. would be the best for stable conditions...
You had mentioned 1 gallon being the absolute minimum on the last page so I just went off from that hehe.
Guess thats the problem with text on a page sometimes...
What i meant to say is; at minimum you’d need one small tank + all that stuff...
Not literally a 1G tank... since for a shrimp breeding project, 1G really isnt going to produce many babies and as you mentioned keeping parameters stable will be an absolute killer, especially during water changes
