Hi everyone. I have a sump tank and I'd like to know if it is possible to use it to breed cherry shrimp? I would then periodically move the larger shrimp up to the display tank.
There would be two options within the sump. The first chamber, which has multiple layers of foam, a few rocks to weigh the foam down, and contains the heater. The splashing of the water entering this chamber should ensure high oxygenation.
The second option would be the self-contained top-up chamber, which currently has RO water in it. I could add some moss balls into this chamber to give them something to cling to, and possibly an air stone. It does not have a heater.
It is worth adding that I do not currently have a light in the cabinet - but there will be some minimal ambient light during daytime that enters the cabinet via the rear.
any thoughts? Anyone else used a sump for breeding cherries?
