Hi all!!
So after moving, I visited my "new" local pet store to check out what they had. I noticed hundreds (literally) of ghosts shrimp spread out among 3 different tanks. I asked how much they were, and the worker said they were $0.50! I've decided to pick up ~10 this coming week.
I had a couple before, when I first started fish keeping, and because of being a newbie and having no idea whatsoever what I was doing, they, and the other fish, died within two weeks.. That was about 2 years ago, and I haven't had any since! Time to get some more!
I'm wanting to put them in my 10g cold water tank (69-71F). It houses 6 White Cloud Mountain Minnows and 2 Amano Shrimp. It's densely planted with Anarcharis Elodea that's growing like crazy! A can barely see through the tank! It's been set up for a little over a year, and is definitely cycled.. Haha
What do you guys think? Any tips on keeping Ghost Shrimp, and can they sustain a population on their own?
Thank you so much!
