Hello everyone,
I'm starting a 15-20g freshwater tropical tank and I was hoping to add a couple of shrimp and snails to it. I plan on having guppies and possibly an African dwarf frog in the tank as well. I'm completely new at fish owning and since everyone has been so helpful I've learned a lot from this site already . I was hoping you fine folks could tell me these things:
How many shrimp are okay to have in a 15-20g tank?
Do I even need both shrimp and snails to keep my tank clean?
What type of shrimp and snails should I purchase for my community tank with the guppies (and possibly other species)?
What species should I avoid keeping with the shrimp and snails (wouldn't want anyone getting eaten)?
Do the shrimp and snails need anything special like live plants or special food to be added to the tank for them to thrive?
I know I'm full of questions, but of you can answer even just one of these it would be extremely helpful!
