    Couple Of Cherry Shrimp Questions

    Hello.   I currently have a tropical 120L community tank + 2 red crabs, planted with sand & 2 large rocks with holes to hide.   1. Will the crabs get along with the shrimp ?   2. How many shrimp would you advise, I was thinking 5 - 8 ?   3. Will they be ok feeding on pellets & flake scraps   Thanks
