I kinda want to own shrimp but i want to do my research first!
Hellooo everyone! I have an empty 54L tank, with 2 filters and one air pump and one heater
I want to own shrimp if possible but i don't want to mistreat them or have improper care for them so i decided to ask here for tips and help
Bit of backstory: i owned a few goldfish some years back when i was younger and had no experience, they unfortunately passed and i took a step back from trying fish-keeping or anything aquarium related since i didn't have the funds or enough mental maturity to fully understand why things have to be done a certain way when starting a fish tank
I would really like some shrimp but only if possible, as im writing this post ive put water into the tank and turned on both filters (the exact filters i have are posted in the pictures above) + added some aquarium fine sand that i rinsed about 6 times and now im letting the filters do their thing.
I know there's a cycling process that needs to be done before adding any life to your tank but i don't know exactly what i need to do besides letting the filters run for a few weeks and also adding water conditioner. [Would like to mention that the filters have some sort of established beneficial bacterias in them since they've been used in the tank when housing a turtle]
(Also i live in romania in case that's relevant for the water quality and chlorines)
I could use any type of care guide or personal experiences in shrimp keeping, plant recommendations and decor and also perimeters. I am not rushing into getting shrimp especially since i don't have experience and i don't want them to die because of improper care
I think that's all i can think of right now. Thank you for your help and time! 🤗
