How would a planted 120g work for shrimp?

[CrazyJ]

It seems that everyone uses small tanks for their shrimp communities, which makes sense since they are quite small. I have a 120g that I will be setting up with a planted CO2 setup in a few months. I am undecided on what I will stock it with, I am toying with the idea of doing shrimp.

Will this work well to have a big happy shrimp community swimming around my plants?

I honestly think thats too big, unless you have hundreds of shrimps its going to be hard to find / see them. However the planted part of it will be nice

I don't see why not. But you will just have to make sure that your intakes are shrimp safe and your oxygen also remains high as well. Good thing about shrimp is they like it on the cooler side (so your oxygen level will remain higher). High-tech, planted, shrimp tanks are awesome at ANY size.

You could have 500 cpd's in there with the shrimps. That would be cool.

that would be an epic tank. You'd need a LOT of shrimp to start off with though. I want to do a 90g shrimp tank after I move.

Start out with enough shrimp and that would look awesome
