What would go with ghost shrimp?

Question

I have a 3 gallon tank, and I was thinking of having a tank of ghost shrimp. could anyone suggest what kind of plants, and if there are any kind of fish that could go in there with them? I was thinking that 3 gallon is not going to be enough for any fish, and how many ghost shrimps can go into the tank? I was thinking 3 maybe. I had one in there before with my molly frys(the people at the store accidently put one in with the panda corys) but i think they picked on it and it died.

Thankyou

Answer 3

3 ghost shrimp and a few plants (java fern, java moss, hornwort - all are easy growers) will be Ok in the 3 gallon tank. You're right - fish won't last in there.

Ghost shrimp are usually good with most community fish - I have a bunch of them in my 40 gallon community tank with mollies, tetras, khuli loaches, yoyo loaches, and danios. They all do well together.

I know that their bioload is pretty low, so odds are even without filtration, they will be OK as long as you keep up with regular water changes. The one concern I would have is how you're going to heat the tank. 3 gallons is hard to keep at a steady temperature in the first place because of its size, and the ghosts will do best in a heated tank. Also, keep in mind that many plants need more light and space than a 3 gallon will provide, so you'll want to keep tabs on what you put in there. The hornwort may not even be the best choice since it's a fast grower. I think the java moss might be your best bet for live plants.
