I understand the need for the shrimp and I would like my own supply too. I have several large tanks and I would like try and get as many shrimp breeding as possible. I need to figure out how many will fit in a 55 gal or maybe 150-300 gal. It just depends on their demand for space. Will they eat the larvae or do they just eat plant matter and plankton? I have a lot of options as far as tanks go and I can always get a rubbermaid from tractor supply if need. Basically they don't need the filtration sytem maybe just a purge now and again is what I am gathering. Also some aeration and slow moving or non moving water. Is this correct? Well hopefully next week I can start insulating the room in my garage and get some heat going in there. That should make keeping the water warm easier. Also does anyone know if you can get them to breed year round with proper temps? Thanks a ton guys and when I get this going I will take photos although it may be a month or so.
