Default What is the max capacity for a 1 feet tank?

How many shrimps can live healthily in a 1 feet tank? I currently house 20 in the tank, but 3 shrmps are pregnant. Do I need to prepare another tank?

bro actually if you have very good filtration you can even have up to 50-100 in a 2ft tank. just need to get another canister or extra filtration if you think the bioload is getting higher.

alternatively add more filter medias to maintain sufficient amounts of beneficial bacterias.


hope it helps

You are a seasoned hobbyist.
I do believe numbers of shrimp I can keep within a limited space is directly related to bbs' quantity and health.
