Number of Opae Ula?
PostPosted:15 May 2016 02:57
Hi Odin,
I have decided to use the 10 gallon ( 37.8541 liter) tank to set up my Opae Ula. I want to buy a set number all at once so I don't have to buy more later and risk introducing disease with a second batch. Do you think that I should buy 10 with hope that they increase the population on their own, or do you think that I should buy 20? Your opinion would be deeply appreciated. Someone once told me that I always think up problems for the future. I guess that my questions reflect that.

i'm guilty of that too! Its the last thing on people minds when introducing new fish or shrimp in our case without thinking about disease and contamination! I would go for 20 shrimp in that tank of yours, 10 would look a little sparse and the more shrimp the larger chances of having a good mixture of males and females. It will take years and years for the shrimp numbers to ever outgrow a tank of your size.
