Maybe a stupid question.... Hi Keri,
I have a 1.5Gal tank from tetrawhisper that included an air-filter, but had to buy a small heater.
I have lots of baby crystal and cherry shrimps in there. Here are some pics. I'm using an iPhone so dont know if the pic will show.

While not impossible, it is not recommended unless you have enough filtration like a decent sponge filter, some type of heat source and nutrient rich soil like ada or florabase......

There is no stupid questions, if you are unsure or do not know ask, most people on this site are more than willing to share what they know. This is what I like about BCA.

Thanks guys
I'm thinking of setting up a very small tank in the future for shrimp, I like the way so many of yours look! I have an 8g biocube but I think they will get sucked into the filter so I'm keeping my eyes open to new ideas.... I really want to do Something with that tank, dwarf puffers is my other idea but again, I think they might get sucked into the filter! I just love a tank that has all the equipment hidden away.

Maybe you can get a filter sponge to cover the filter intake for your biocube?
