    Default Would a 20 gallon munster be over kill for a shrimp tank?

    Just wondering I would prefer a 10 gallon due to space but can't find any thing used yet, I have a line on a twenty one gallon going with ada soil and crs / cbs what do you guys think I have heard a ten gallon is ideal size for shrimps.

    I would think a 20g would be just fine , plus you have a little more room than a 10g. I seen a 90g shrimp tank on there the other day, so hardly think 20 would be overkill lol

    Bigger tanks are fine for shrimp. Just be aware that this will be a tall tank though and shrimp tend to colonize the lower strata .

    Your shrimp will love the 20. You can build up the scape so they utilize the entire height of the tank

    Just curious, Marko. Did you decide to set up the 20 Munster rimless gallon shrimp tank? Any chance of a journal?
