Do you think this tank would work for cherry shrimps? If not, any idea which would?

I have a colony of Cherry Shrimp in this tank and they are thriving!!!! Perfect tank for them.

I agree with Philip - way too small of a tank! Those Angel Fish and that pleco are going to get REALLY big. Move them up to a big tank and enjoy the shrimp in the 10 gallon alone or with a few small, peaceful fish.

I have guppies and red cherry shrimp. This is marketed as a betta tank but u can put other fish provided you follow the "1 inch of fish per gallon of water" guideline.

I'd say that you'd need something larger than a vase so that you can at least have some filtration. A 5 gallon is fine. Shrimp are pretty sensitive to nitrates and nitrites, which is why the filtration is necessary. I suggest a sponge filter, as it won't disturb the water as much and won't suck up any small shrimp babies. Shrimp love marimos, as well as other aquatic plants and hides that you can offer them.

I'm not sure about turtles, but for fish it's really designed for smaller tanks. I suspect you need something bigger...

Guppies I would say yes, but I wouldn't take a chance with dwarf shrimp. They're fine around my Amano shrimp though, they don't bother them at all. Probably because they're around the same size. Btw, in my aquarium with the CPO's I also have zebra danios which are about the same size as guppies and I haven't had any issues. Also have Pygmy corys, blue Rams, platys, gouramies and discus.

I use it for my 8/10 gallon nanocube saltwater tank. wish it pushed a bit more volume, but it works well. i've got a choclate chip starfish, curly q anemone, feather duster and small clown fish and two medium pieces of live rock.

I'm using it in a 3 gallon Tetra Cube. As long as it's submerged horizontal or vertically, and not touching substrate, it'll work. The heater is 6.5" tall x 2" wide. I like it because, it heats to a set temperature; if the tank is too warm, it shuts off. I've been using it for a month, checking with a thermometer, and it's been spot on 80, as set for my Betta.

I don't recommend 30 Gallons tank. I bought this for 10 gallon tank. It was not enough.And I found a problem. Connection is weak.(from light parts to AC adaptor)

I wouldn't recommend this for that size tank. Unfortunately I couldn't get mine to work, the tank would have to be at least 30 gallons to use it correctly

It's a really nice little tank. Any fish will do great but it is very small. I think if you did somethinglike a neon or molly you could have up to 4 or 5.

yes, this unit works well enough for both of those size tanks- you wont need to run the protein skimmer as much for the 30 gallon depending on what you have going on in it. Id suggest setting it up on a timer and just have it go on ever so often to scrub the water up :)

Likely much too big. Try a turkey master. Works well on tanks up to 10 gallons.

I have one for my 20 gallon regular tank with three small turtles. I would recommend it for a heavily stocked 20 gallon.

It should work ok for a 30G tank. I have it on a 27G tank. It's rather weak even with almost no media in the treys. If you have saltwater tank with corals that need some current, this is too week. I know it's rated for much larger tank, but it's grossly overrated. I just got this too:( I'm really regretting it. It's unfortunate, but a powerhead will be needed for me:(Just to be clear, even if you have a fresh water tank, you liken't can't get enough flow to filter the whole tank with this power. Go up a model or 2 and get more power. Other than the lack of power, I do like this unit. I just wish that they have marketed it with the right GPH, and that I have purchased a more powerful one.

I have them in a 3 gallon tank with a small whisper air powered filter to at least circulate the water. I put a small screen in the intake to prevent shrimp from getting pulled in. From what I have seen online some use a filter yet some claim no filter used ever. As they don't require a lot of food so you may be able to get away with no filter. Finally in my opinion due to their small size a normal filter for in my case 3 gallons would just generate too much current for these them. Which would most likely change their behavior resulting in them hiding much more that desired.

Maybe not quite sure but if you have enough hiding places the will probably be fine. I have a glow fish my self but not cherry shrimp
