I am going to set up a 10 gal. tank with alot of plats, and eventually I am going to get quite a few ghost shrimp as soon as my LFS gets some more. They sell like crazy. Should I just put them in the tank and put some fishfood in. Will they breed in there or what should I do. Thanks for any and all help.
 
You can breed them in a heavily planted tank provided that you have a sponge filter(no other type of filter) and special food for the babies. It is also possible that in a heavily planted tank there may be enough infusoria that you will not have to feed specialized food, however I expect that you would not have as good a survival rate with out the extra foods.
