Most turtles will outgrow a 10 gallon.
Inverts are cool.
I have 5 whisker shrimp and it is a hoot watching them eat peas.
They will skamper off with one in there mouth and one in each claw.

No different than with fish.
They tend to be bottom dwellers so you want good aeration.
They do like to have a place to hide, some decoration with cubbyholes or caves.
Don't freak out when they shed their exoskeleton, it looks like a dead shrimp, leave it in there, they will eat it and the calcium helps them.

Have you added shrimp to your 5G yet?
Nope. I am still debating what I am going to do. I just found out I am moving this summer with work, so I may not add any CRS, because I don't want to move them. I will probably get some RCS in there soon though. The ammonia levels are finally starting to go down. The ADA aquasoil was a really pain to "cycle". The plants grow like CRAZY in it though, so I guess it is worth it.

where ya moving to? moving shrimp can't be that much more difficult than fish...unless it's across country i suppose. i figure shrimp would be easier since their bioload is pretty negligable.
