Red cherry Shrimp

Post by jewel911 »

Hello everyone :-D i will be getting some red cherry shrimp and i want to know what u guys do in your setups for the shrimp.Dont know a lot about shrimps just started but have kept fish for some time now.I also have 5 amanos (which are doing really good) in a small community but i am thinking of keeping the cherries on their own tank.I will start with a 10gal for the cherries i just wanted to know what filtration to use,subtrate,decor,and any suggestion any of u may have to help.I will be putting some mosses in the tank and some wood and i wanted to know if adding ferts will harm the little guy.Also do i need to add any calcium to the water?

Thanks in advance

You may want to read everything more carefully then before posting again. You just broke a bunch of rules with only 2 posts. Besides the part about doing research you may want to *really* carefully read Rule No. 5.

We are willing to help anyone with their questions, but it is expected that *everyone* follow the rules and do their part *first.*

Sorry for breaking so many rules. :oops: Ok I got the cherries yesterday and set up a 15 gallon for them they are around 30. I got them from a very good source they look really healthy and bright red found many babies too. I seeded the filter so the parameters are ok.But i have a question now One of them is missing an eye maybe they were kept with fish and the fish nipped at it.Will it be ok with a missing eye? The tank has some wood lots of moss like weeping,taiwan,and java moss and there are no fish in their with them.Hope I didnt brake any rules this time I read all rules at least 5 times to make sure lol.Thanks in advance i really want to learn from this site. :)
