How Many Cherry Red Shrimp for 7-Gallon?

[Caralot416]

I am half way through my cycling process and looking forward to stocking it. I would like to purchase some Cherry Red Shrimp, but can't seem to find them locally. I am considering purchasing them on Ebay. What would be a good number?

(I plan on populating the 7-Gallon with 7 GloFish plus the shrimp and maybe a snail.)

Start with a small number, maybe 20 or so. If they're happy, they'll grow in numbers pretty quickly.

+1 10-20 should be enough to get a colony started.
