Shrimp don't produce much in terms of waste, and they're likely to breed, 10 or so would be a good start.

someone on ebay is doing 10 for £33 so that will do nicely, heard they are really sensitive though and hard to keep

It all depends on the tank that you are going to keep them in. They do really well in small very heavily planted tanks with lots and lots of moss.
I had 5 in my 35l tank and they were fine for around 4 months then all of a sudden BOOOOM they had a population explosion.
I think the best thing you do for them is give them the best water. So a fully cycled established tank if you want them to trive as apposed to just survive.

Hope that helps a tad
