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!

I'm thinking about raising the shrimp fry in the 10 gal. From what I understand so far, the fry need to be in brackish water until they mature. How hard will it be to change the existing freshwater setup to brackish?
Thanks!
