Hi all,
I have a quick couple of questions regarding stocking my 67 litre planted tank. I have an idea to stock it with 15 Celestial Pearl Danios and then 10 cherry shrimp for the clean up crew.
The tank is a 24lx15hx12w. It will be heavily planted, though the majority will be dwarf hairgrass so there will be plenty of swimming room. I'll be using an over powered filter (fluval 305) so filtration will be up 8 or 9 times tank volume per hour. I'll be dosing co2 rather than injecting which should help keep algae at bay as well as promote plant growth.
My questions are:
1) Is this bioload okay for the size/filtration/planting levels of the tank?
2) Do shrimp require the same tank volume allowance as fish?
3) Is that enough shrimp for keeping the tank spic and span (alongside regular maintenace of course)?
Thanks in advance
