What heater do you use for your nano tank? size, make type etc

Ive just acquired a 20L nano minus a heater!

Thanks Esfa I love that wood too though it's such an awkward shape for tying anything to it

LastBoy5cout, the heater is a 50W Chinese make called "Johnlen" that I bought in Hong Kong when I went holiday a couple of years ago. For a 20 ltr tank, you can use a 25W or 50W heater. There are some more "petite" heaters around for smaller tanks.

It looks very nice, I like the wood too and the anubias looks nice and small, the willow moss is looking very good, it grows fast when its happy. Shrimp do love bloodworm, I should feed it more often. Got a few half decent pics of ninjas will post some if I dont get any better ones.

Thanks Liam It is a more of a functional tank setting rather than aesthetically pleasing. Like little Fatty's sleeping basket She still sleeps in there every night. So sweet The oversized wood is very useful for the shrimps and puffers. There is a big through tunnel/cave at the base with various entrances/exits and the shrimps and puffers love it.

Funny about feeding shrimps bloodworms. They seem to react faster to bloodworms and brine shrimps than to the shrimp pellets and other food. Even the shy ninjas would come out from hiding for a piece of bloodworm.

Your shrimp pictures are always amazing Can't wait to see your ninjas

This little guy was about a week old and it puffed up for some unknown reason.

Is that a 20L tank?

I have a 27L cycling at the moments, could I add 1 or more to that?

I really want shrimp as well, is there anyway which I could reduce the likelihood of the DP(s) attacking them?

The stocking for DPs is 1 DP for every 5 galloons of water. so 20L = 5(ish) gallons = 1 DP.
This is becouse though they are small, they are also vey messy and very teritorial.

How come there is 2/3 in that tank?

Sorry, I dont mean to sound nasty and picky in that..I'm new to DP's, considering them now..

Anyway I can help with the shrimpy side of things?
