I am planning a dedicated shrimp tank, just waiting for everything to finish cycling and getting it all set up. I am so excited!

I have flame moss and a great piece of driftwood planned but am always looking for inspiration.

So what does your shrimp tank(s) look like?

believe they work kinda like a feeding tray where they hold the food and shrimp can pick at it at their leisure

thanks. pretty simple setups. I use the baskets for feeding. they are exactly the same as nets but mounted to suction cups. really helps keep the soil clean. they can also be used are artificial incubators if needed.

I'll play!

My 10G which is a 2 year old tank that I'm currently recycling after having to wipe out a scud infestation. The shrimp are being held elsewhere until it is done. Ignore the raggedy look it had to be completely torn down and bleached.

This here is a bad pic of my little 2G work tank. Getting a good shot of this one is tough with all the light. One weekend while I'm there I'll have to bring my SLR. You can see the little shrimp running around though! And the LCD readout below is tank statistics.

what are the green tubes used for? is that some sort of aerator?

The green tubes are the uplift tubes for the sponge filters.

Agree very clean setup there

I don't think I've seen sponge filters like that before. Can you get a close up shot?

They are small impossible to find Tetra Brilliant sponge filters. They aren't being made anymore that's why you don't see them around.

My 55. It does currently have 4 CPD and 4 Lampeye Kili in it (as well as 6 Oto), but to me, it’s a shrimp tank.

Current Shrimp:
~ 10 Golden Bee
~ 10 Tangerine Tiger
~ 5 Super Tiger
~ 15 Natural Form Bee
~ 5 Crystal Black
~ 5 Crystal Red
~ 2+ “Rainbow” Shrimp (one just dropped babies, so not sure on the overall total)

Agreed, Mamabear! It is really neat to see how different everyone's setup is too!

Everyone's tank looks great!
