How do shrimp figure in to stocking? If I am at capacity with fish should I skip shrimp, or do shrimp help? How many shrimp are recommended for 29 gallon tank? I think they look cool, but I need to learn more about how to care for them.
Yeah the reason most keep them separate is because they don't want them eaten. And without fish it's a stress free place where they can breed more prolifically.I'm not an expert on this topic. I have two ghost shrimp. From what I've read you have to add them into the stocking equation as you would fish. They do scavenge, but they still add to waste. Hopefully a more experience shrimp person can add more. Most shrimp people seem to like to keep the shrimp separate.
