How many and what kinds of shrimp can I put in a 5.5 gallon tank? Dimensions 16″ x 8″ x 10″. Also is 80 degrees a good temp?
If this is your first time keeping shrimp, then I would go for red cherrys or another neo. They breed pretty easily and shrimp have such a small bioload, you could have a ton in there. I would order about 20 to start and let them breed. Just be careful, red cherry shrimp are easy compared to the other shrimp, but they still need clean water and good parameters.
I have 6 RCS and some Java Moss coming from Fishdude3233. They will be here Thursday. Do you think they will be lonely?
What's the best thing to feed shrimp?
TBH I think that is what I used. But just clean it well before you put it in
Would this be ok to use in my tanks? I know I don't need 50lbs for a 5.5 tank, but I have a 29 gallon tank for fish to set up too.
I will be purchasing a bag in the morning and using it then.
