Can I use salt in my Cherry shrimp Tank ( HYDRAS) ???

Here is the reason for my asking, I just found out that what I thought were baby shrimp zipping and clinging to the glass are in fact HYDRAS , yuck I read that these buggers don't like salt. Is this true and will I harm my cherries if I use salt say a teaspoon per 5G. Please help It seems that there...

Shrimp & LIGHT

does anyone know if cherry shrimp need a lot of light to breed? I'm thinking I would like to raise them in a solid colored tote say 15 G size and not much light will get in. Do they need any light? I think I read some where that they move more at night.

Any help here would be great thanks
