I keep shrimp colonies as a clean up crew for plant leaves and large excrement. I haven't seen a submersible yet that wouldn't hinder the Neocardina lifecycle, but thanks for the suggestion.

Really? Hmmmm......been using the fluval nano for years with shrimp. And neos are the hardiest. I have used my submersible nanos in with crs, prl, oebt, and every variation of neo without ever a problem. Besides, i don't see how a filter hinders their life cycle. But it is your enclosure, just trying to offer some space saving tips. Good luck with it.

Took a better look at the Nano. The intake looks much smaller than the other submersibles I've used, so maybe I'll consider it. I'm mainly concerned with the young stages being preserved. One of the submersibles I picked up dropped my survival-to-adult rate down significantly. But I'll probably stick to at least one sponge filter regardless of what the other filter is. It gives a good foraging area for them.
