15 Gallon Shrimp Tank

[freshwaterfishlover]

I know I have posted about a 15g Shrimp tank before, but I have other questions.

1. How long do Bamboo shrimp get?
2 Will Bamboo Shrimp attack/eat Frogs or other small shrimp like Ghost shrimp?
3. What are some good small shrimp? Not midget size,but Ghost Shrimp Size or slightly bigger.
4 Can I have small 1-1.5'' Shrimp in the same tank as 2-2.5" Shrimp?
5 How many Shrimp can I put in a 15g that are Ghost Shrimp Size or .5'' Bigger?
6. How does it sound to have 10 Fake Dwarf Hairgrass plants and sand in the tank, but nothing else?

3-5 inches

They are filter feeders so I would think no.

3. What are some good small shrimp? Not midget size,but Ghost Shrimp Size or slightly bigger.

Cherry shrimp, bumblebee shrimp, crystal red shrimp (if you are ready for the investment)

4 Can I have small 1-1.5'' Shrimp in the same tank as 2-2.5" Shrimp?
5 How many Shrimp can I put in a 15g that are Ghost Shrimp Size or .5'' Bigger?

Depends on how big and how much you feed them. If they are cherry shrimp size though, A LOT (think 100+++)

6. How does it sound to have 10 Fake Dwarf Hairgrass plants and sand in the tank, but nothing else?

Sounds fine, shrimp like groundcover, and lots of it.

So do you think it is ok to put a Bamboo shrimp in the same tank as 4 Frogs, 5 Clams, 6 Ghost Shrimp and a Snail?

I don't know, but that seems like an awful lot of filter feeders. They may starve without some kind of supplement

[cocoa_pleco]

they would probably need some sort of small debris food to eat so they wont starve

petshrimp.com has loads of information on just shrimp, check it out. Shrimp are really cool to have, I have a mix of cherrys, crystal reds, amano and a cross breed the LFS tried to tell me are tangerine shrimp in my 10 gal snail tank. I am hoping the cherrys at least breed and give me loads of babies....more food for the puffers!

i would put more plants in, fake or live, it helps them feel safer with places to hide, and will probally be seem more with more places to hide, as silly as that sounds. add a few big leaved plants in, i find shrimps like that.
and more hairgrass.
