Rcs In A 5 Gallon

[BettaCrazy7]

I would like to start a small shrimp tank and start breeding them. About how many RCS could I put in a 5 gallon but still have room for shrimplets?

Cherries breed like rabbits; so I would most probably say to start off with 6 and if you have both sexes, planted tank etc, you'll have loads within a month x

I agree with Beth, not too many. However IF you can guarantee different sexes then I'd say 5 (or whatever number the shop do a deal on, if they do). I bought 5, all females! then I got another 5, 4 females and one male...
