I had a spare tank so I decided to do a shrimp tank with it, I was wondering if a HOB filter with a sponge on the intake will be ok for sucessfully breeding shrimp, or if a sponge filter is a must? Reason why I dont want to go with the sponge filter is its in the kitchen and the air pump makes too much noise, where as my HOB filters have always run silent and look more inconspicuous.
Secondly if a HOB is fine, is there any brands in particular people are going with? I was thinking a Penguin 100, or Aquaclear 20 on an 8 gallon bowfront tank to keep the flow down for the babies.
