All Shrimp?

[fishmad135]

Hi, i have just been marveling at some of thge all shrimp tanks on some posts and i think i may have fallen for them ! what i would like to know is everything and anything about keeping them. Do they have any special requirments? Any nice breeds? Minimum tank size? compatible breeds? good for a bedroom tank? what plant? what do they eat? how to make the tank as impresive as everyone elses?

Anything on shrimps really?
thankyou

Have a read on the Shrimp Care Guide

I think there are a few threads somewhere regarding species compatibility (compatibility chart) too

One site I read said about 10-15 shrimp per gallon; however someone on this site said 2 per gallon. I'd go with 10-15 per gallon especially if they are in alone. I have 10 red cherry shrimp in a 1.5 gallon tank at the minute; honestly if I had two in there the tank would be bare.
