Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help, I've gone from previously having a real problem with my Cherries never getting pregnant (as detailed in my Thread "males can't catch females")
to, thanks to all the great advice I was given, having the opposite problem!
I only had about 10 shrimps in a 20 litre (approx 5 US gallon?) tank.
Now, I've had two sets of babies, about 15 each time. The first batch are nearly 2 months old and I presume will start reproducing themselves in a month or so.
So, my question is, how many shrimps will a tank this size house happily? I've searched online and can't seem to find any guidance (as you can with fish stocking)
Do they naturally stop breeding if they are becoming overcrowded and 'regulate' themselves or just keep on going?
I've got lots of plants etc in the tank and do a 20% PWC every week/gravel vac every 2 weeks.
Any help, advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
