Fort - In almost any breeding setup, know matter what you are trying to breed, it should be a species only tank. This will maximize the number of offspring that survive because there wont' be any predation and there will be less competitoin for food and less stress as well from having to hide from predators. You could keep over 100 shrimp in that size tank. If you get RCS I would be EXTREMELY surprised if they DIDN'T breed for you since they are one of the easiest shrimp to breed. I wouldn't recommend a 5g tank as a breeding tank for shrimp but it sounds like this is more of a display tank anyway, which is fine. Adding some fish would be okay and it would certain keep the population of the shrimp in check.
