Hi guys, ihave managed to breed my shrimp quite well but now they have gone into overdrive!
Would like to know how many more my 30ltre tank can take before i start getting problems, its heavily planted with java moss and fern and some kind of floating plant thst i have to keep thinning as it thrives in there.
I must now have at least 80 plus in there and they are berried up again, will i need a bigger tank?
tank is wellfilterd with a fluval that has an anti shrimp cover on it (old tights).

I read online about 10-15 shrimp per gallon (you are probably at your stocking limit now)

Sounds like the perfect time to start selling some on and making your money back to me

Never thought about selling them before as it seems so much hassle sorting them and then hoping they make it to their destination safely.

You could always sell them as collection only or see if any shop next to you would be willing to take them (or send them to me hehehe). Seriously try them as collection only.

if you wanna thin them down, I would most prob ask for £1 per shrimp or £15 for 20. If they are breeders, I am sure you will get buyers.
