🏠Bedding & habitat for the Cherry shrimp
Cherry shrimp : A nano tank of 20 L or more, well matured and densely mossy, kept species-only or with peaceful micro-fish. Almost all medium-sized fish eat the juveniles.
This is the structural purchase — and where mistakes cost the most: too small, badly placed, badly sized. Our guides give serious minimum dimensions for a fish, the materials that last, and the traps of entry-level products.
The bigger the tank, the more stable — and therefore easier — it is: 60 litres is a good start, and the goldfish bowl belongs to another century.
