Setup Tank For Cleaner Shrimp

[oogalepbo]

Hi all still havn't setup anything yet...wanting to know if this setup is alguds for 2x Cleaner Shrimp:

45L Tank
Filter
Heater
Sand
Saltwater
Ornaments or some kind i.e. castle, shipwreck. (For shrimp to hide etc)

This is the setup im wanting to go for as i do not want to deal with live coral as it takes up to much time, money and maintenance. Can the Cleaner shrimp be happy with the ornaments?? or is that a bit cruel?? Don't want come off mean and cheap. I feel as long as i keep the tank clean, fresh n warm, feed them well im hoping they should be happy. Just didn't want the hassle if the cleaner shrimp can live happy in this setup..

cheers for all that get back...

to the salty side of life

a ten gallon is fine for a pair of cleaner shrimp

May I suggest you omit the shipwreak, castle thing and go for a more natural looking tank using live rock as your filter and give the shrimps a nicer home

In a tank that size you could also have a hermit and a snail. And with even the most basic of lights you could have some colourful mushrooms. Just ensure you do a weekly water change of 25% and your tank should look great.

Have a look at jennybugs 'on the edge' tank
