	new to brackish - advice, please
misty7 Hobbyist Posts: 72 Kudos: 60 Registered: 28-Jan-2005	Hi there; So, my Amano shrimp have bred, and now I'm thinking about trying my hand at a brackish 10 gallon setup for the fry. I'm pretty new to the hobby in general (just set up my 1st freshwater tank a few months ago, a 20gal, planted, all occupants doing well). Any advice? The 10 gallon I'm thinking of converting has been fishless cycling for a while, and is almost ready to go. It's planted. I was originally setting it up as a second freshwater tank. Any advice/tips/etc will be very appreciated Thanks!
