But, I do love my little tank. Everything was going great until the construction when the water got fouled somehow. I wonder if I would be in this predicament had that not happened. I don't really have any advice on keeping water quality since I literally don't do anything except top it off with ...

@superproofer Thank you very much for your input. I would love to hear about your experience with such low water. If all goes well, I wanted to give pre made jars of these guys as presents. I was thinking making some with jars that have .25 of a gallon of water. Of course it was more back of my mind ...

The jar size leaves little room for error, and tiny changes in the water parameters will have enormous effects. Arguably the slow cycle is even more important to provide tank stability in this instance. Definitely don't put wood or cholla in your tank. It will slowly decompose and crash the tank ...

Dang ok, I understand. Thank you for letting me know the general density cap.

From what I've heard once they reach a certain population density the shrimp will stop reproducing. However, other than making sure you only have males or only have females, I don't think there is a way to make them not reproduce at all if the shrimp aren't at that density.

That is ...
