Hello!

I am thinking about setting up a shrimp tank for my 1 gallon. I know 1 gallon is quite small, especially if I am to keep fish, but since I am only interest in shrimp, I have read that it is acceptable (right?).

Anyways, on to the questions.

Firstly - which are easier to manage: ghost shrimp or cherry shrimp? I have read that they are both pretty similar as far was temp and water params go.

Second - how often, then (after I cycle the tank and put the shrimp in), do I change the water, and by how much?

Third - substrates...give me all the info about that.

I think that's about it that I'm absolutely do not know the answers to! Sorry for the many questions! I want to get this right and, of course, I don't want many fatalities (if at all) on my hands.

Thank you!
