1/2 a shrimp for a 12g?

[clarkiiclo]

Do you think 1/2 a shrimp about a 1/2 long piece is too much for a 12gal?

cycling

I cycled mine with a whole shrimp.....half should be fine.

 

[clarkiiclo]

Great!

LOL - sorry, couldn't resist
I used a half a shrimp to cycle my 29g, it was gone in 4 days but worked out great

Fish food works better in my experience.

How much food would you use Bang?
By the way I was going to ask you do you think a pair of Banggai would be ok in the 12?
Probally too small but I thought I would ask the expert.

 

[bang guy]

The same amount of food you would be feeding a small Damsel.
In my opinion a pair of Banggai need at least a 20 and they also seem to do better with other fish in the tank. I'm sure it's been done in a 12 before but I think it's risky.

That is why I asked you. I wont do it then.
I dont want them to be unhappy.
