Shrimp On The Way, Any Suggestions?

[hotpink143]

I've ordered a couple CRS and a couple CBS, they will be here in by the weekend. Thank you to saltynay for selling me on the idea!

This is my first go with inverts so I don't really know what I'm doing. Expensive first try, I know, but that 'buy it now button' was irresistible.

I have driftwood and they're being shipped with moss so I'll have a bit of that to start with. I'd like some suggestions about the tank set-up. Do they need rock to hide under? Or will driftwood and plant cover be enough?

You can't mix CBS and CRS if you intend to sell them as one of the colouration genes is dominant (can't remember which one) and you will get progressively less of the other recessive coloured through time.

They like cave systems and lots of java moss, with driftwood get a drill and create holes in it and nooks for them to hide in when done well the holes appear natural and are great for the shrimp. Look up some pictures on other peoples CRS tanks and you chould find a few good ideas.
