Will be moving pregnant Rcs to my 2.5 how many pregnant adults and babies/juvies can I have in it. There is a small hob with a sponge on the intake in this tank.

Are there plants? Is it long or tall?

I'd say there's a 10 per gallon rough rule, but it doesn't always apply.

I know if I didn't have plants and driftwood for my guys to explore, I wouldn't have so many shrimp. I keep 12 in my 2g tall so I'd say if yours is long, 20 maybe 25.

I have a 2 1/2gal. Aqueon mini bow with about 20 rcs. I think thats right around the optimal number. Tho a few more or less would be doable imo.
