Thank for the heads up! I have sponge filters. I was worried about the flow being to strong for the shrimp with the HOB filters. I vision the poor shrimp being blown around like they are caught in a hurricaneHello Janice.
A Mini Up may not be the best choice as a filter for a shrimp tank (especially if your intent is breeding them). The filter is not shrimplet safe. A better choice would by an Aquaclear with a stainless steel strainer or a sponge filter.

Oh perfect! Thank you. I will check out petsmart to see if they have a sale on ☺i have 2x aquaclear 20 in my 10g shrimp tank. The flow doesn't bother them at all. I have it set to medium with the flow control.
