This tank is currently home to 3 juvenile cherry shimp. Would it be overcrowding things to add 2 crystal red shrimp?

It would be okay to add 2 crystal red shrimp. Also the tank is looking good. What filter are you using?

The filter is an Aquaclear Mini adjusted to its lowest flow settting. The carbon was not used with only the sponge in place for biological filtration. The intake is shrimp-proof to the point that I was worried about restricting the flow too much but it has not been a problem so far.

shrimp are typically low bioload. adding 2 CRS is perfectly fine in that setup. i wouldn't add too much more tho, just to be on the safe side.
