I just purchased a new 10-gallon tank, stand, heater, substrate, etc. After I get my new tank cycled, I'm probably going to house my betta in it. This will leave his 3-gallon tank empty, except for some Malaysian trumpet snails. I'm thinking of doing a shrimp tank, but know nothing about shrimp. Is a 3-gallon large enough to do shrimp? If so, how many do I start with and what kind? I like the look of red cherry shrimp, but I'm not sure if I can get them at my lfs. I think I've seen ghost shrimp there, but I'd like more color if possible, unless ghost shrimp have great personalities (whatever that means). Any input, encouragement, and/or suggestions will be most welcomed.
BTW, this 3-gallon tank is well established, being home to Travis since at least March of this year, if not before. I do a 25 - 33% water change at least twice a week, so I'm pretty disciplined when it comes to maintenance.
Thanks in advance for your help. :1zhelp:
