3 gallon question

Post by hirschy75 »

Hi everyone i have a few questions.
One is that i have a Eclipse 3 and i currently have in it a few mountain fish that are very tiny and don't grow anymore along with 2 amano shrimp and 1 cherry shrimp. My question is how many more shrimp can i put in there before its to much? I heard that 1 shrimp per 1/4 gallon. Is that about right?
Two what are some plants that shrimp seem to love to have in their tank that requires almost no light? Right now i have some crypts and chain sword and a little java moss.
Three is what kind of other shrimp could i get in there with out them cross breeding? I want as much diversity as possible. Also this is my kinda tiny breeding tank until the shrimp breed and grow to big and then most of the adults will go and live in my other 50 gal. aquarium.

Any and all suggestions will be appreciated by me,
the new guy
