Jeff Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Everything I read recommends a 20g minimum. Has anyone ever kept one in a 10g? Successfully? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tihshho Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Issue with bamboo shrimp is that they need quality water and they are filter feeders. In addition to that, they love flow. Larger tanks are more stable parameter wise and you can get away with more flow in a larger (longer) tank so that tank mates don't have to get blown around if you use a powerhead or something else to increase directional flow.

Ben Ellison Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 They are also escape artist. Imo I think a 10 is to small. I've lost 3 to escapes in what I thought was a secure environment. I found one all the way across my living room somehow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Ellison Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 No he did not. I found him months later. He had crawled under some potted plants and surprisingly never smelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
