My ghost shrimp died due to unknown causes details can be found HERE.
I only had him/her for a week.
I am looking at red cherry shrimp because I hear they are pretty hardy.
The tank is a 10 gallon planted tank filtered by a Marineland Penguin 150B Bio-wheel power filter with 12 neon tetras, there are also a bunch of bladder snails that I am trying to get rid of.
The tank/filter is cycled.
I am thinking about getting 10 red cherry shrimp (rcs), is this a good amount?
What are the feeding instructions for rcs?
I am currently treating for ich using the salt and heat method, will rcs survive the treatment? I would really like to put them into the tank while the treatment is going on because I think the ich came in on the ghost shrimp and I don't think shrimp can get ich so quarantining won't work but I think that the ich can be carried by the shrimp. My LFS uses shared wet/drys so if ich is in one tank there is a good chance it is in another. So I would like to add the rcs during the treatment as a preventative measure. In another thread msjinkzd said that shrimp would tolerate the salt and heat but I just want to make sure that this applies to rcs. HERE is a link to the thread, the thread also details the treatment method I am using.
Any other info about rcs would be appreciated.
