As it stands, the job is janitor.
Heres the spec's
The reason i show all three angles is so that you can see their total environment. Its a refugium / sump.
In these pictures everything is fresh and new (well. the egg crate is new and the glass is clean). But now there is plenty of algae and an almost infinite supply of detritus in micro format on the stone and in the moss.
Looking to the left i show this because those egg crate gaps are large, and shrimp are not, and on the other side of that wall is a dense (very dense) stack of bioballs with air being pumped through them. Im not sure if the shrimp would feel daring enough to go in there. I don't want it to turn into a one way death gate.
Middle is where i want them to hang out and chow all day and night long.
EDIT: I didn't even mention that its about a "6 gallon" space.
Right shows the exit baffle to pump chamber. the way that egg crate sheet is in there it nothing short of fry is going to fit through that side so no worries.
Water / media is very mature (1yr+)
Temp 80.1 and this is not negotiable, i don't even have a heater in my tank or sump anymore. its 80.1F with the lights on. 79.8 with the lights off. ive checked the thermo a thousand times in a hundred different scenarios and liquids tried many spots. It is what it is and thats what it is appearently
So far everything has been saying "amano shrimp"
What do you guys think?
