Pics Of Shrimp Set-up

[danb_1985]

decided im going to get an aquastart 320 (28litre) primarily for a betta. however, i also want 4-6 cherry shrimp, 4 pygmy cories, 2 adf's and an apple snail(and/or 3 assasin snails...i'll post different topic for questions on them).

could anybody describe te perfect decor/set-up to satisfy the needs of all of these or better still have any pics?

also, will the cherry shrimp breed freely in the set up or would i need to do anything to help it along?

Your cherry shrimp will not survive five minutes with ADFs as tank mates.

i've read its 50/50 whether frogs wil eat them?

I would put it nearer a 100% certainty, but you may be lucky. The frogs' eyesight is not of the best, and the shrimp are nippy little creatures, but long-term they are not ideal tank mates.

ADF's eat cherries however if the ADFs are well fed on catfish pellets and bloodworms they normally leave shrimp alone especially if the tank is well planted.
