How many?

[rclover]

How many crs can be in a 3 liter(1 gallon us) tank?

[kc_c]

Too expensive for me to try this stunt.

For this tank size, how about 1/2? :joking:

[gigahertz]

1/2 sounds about right :)

[silane]

You guys are mean. :joking:

Should be able to keep 2 or so. Keeping more numbers in small volume or in small volume of water are alway challanging.

lol lol lol

Ok, seriously, there is this guy I know who keep fry in disposable container (size about 20cm x 20cm x 10cm). He is a killes expert but he is also successful in several other type of fish such as otos, cory etc.

The important point is to add lots java moss.

lol lol Half? I was thinking a quarter. :joking:

Hmm, I was wondering what if there is oxygen deficit when the java moss starts to respire?

Anyway, my guess is about 2 as well. Are you really going to try it out? :D If so please take a picture and show it to us hehe.. It would be so interesting haha..

2-3 max. You could probably keep more in there with a good filtration system and plants, but why take the risk?

[rclover]

gah! That's the only thing I have to work with! Hmmm, maybe I'll let the plants in the tank grow out first and see how a 3 liter shrimpless tank looks, with only the scape?

As long as you keep water conditions optimal, u can keep as many as you want. I can keep up to 100 in a 10 gallon with good water changes

[HYUN007]

37.85412/100(US gallon)=0.379


It is 0.379liter for each of your shrimp.
Shrimps do not really like overcrowding situation, they tend not to breed in that kind of condition if you keep them alive.
If they do breed, I believe most will discard their eggs.

It is not a good thing to tell him that he can keep as many as he wants as we all know that it is not possible to keep 30shrimps in 3 liters and keep water parameter at optimal level.
Human being are irrational and tend to get lazy and forget to keep water at optimal level.

Thread revived from 2005! :)

I agree with you on this part.
