Hey guys, I'm going to be moving into a smaller space within the next year and therefore want to plan out my hobby.
I am wanting to breed all sorts of shrimp, neos, and caradinas, and one fancy species of shrimp.
my questions have to deal with the ideal setup. I have a 40g stand that I currently have 2 40g tanks on that I was originally going to just divide into 3-4 sections with foam but I know many shrimp keepers have several more smaller tanks. I figure that this is because they can all keep different parameters but want to know more about why they choose this.
I am not against having multiple smaller tanks if someone can give me some reasoning. But the way I see it now is that altho you can control each specific parameters you also have to get an individual heater, lid, as well as individual water changes which is obviously a lot more work.
I also would like to know how people deal with culls when keeping a variety of different shrimp species with water that doesn't work with the other shrimp.
I know this is a long question, thank you to whoever responds.
Edit: Who still sells shrimp? I have tried going on a desktop to find the classifieds but I cannot find it anymore.
