Shrimp for an Eclipse 12g

Post by Greg Curtis »

Want to get some Red Cherry Shrimp for this tank. About how many would you recommend for it. Also if I wanted to add a different shrimp to complement the color of the Red Cherries which would you recommend.

You could start with getting 10 cherry shrimp so you have good odds of getting both males and females.

Cherry shrimp are Neocaridina sp. Since the Neocaridina sp (Cherry, snowball, yellow, blue pearl)inter breed. It would be best to check the shrimp varieties section and choose a Caridina sp. with simular water requirments for a tank mate.
