I always wanted to do a shrimp tank. So far I have 3 Fire Red Cherries I got from work and a ramshorn snail I got as a hitchhiker, free snail! I might do a mix of different colored shrimps. It doesn't bother me that they will go back to their wild color. I had my manager order me 4 Cherries, but one died sadly but the rest seem to be doing fine. Once I put them into my tank, they went right to picking at the plants and decor. I paid for them before the one had died, so I was able to replace the lost shrimp with a nice healthy java fern. I bagged the fern in the bag with the shrimp they like to have something to hold onto when traveling.

I took a few pictures of them and the tank. I have yet to put a background on it and please ignore the mesh on the filter intake, I plan to put moss onto it later on.

Looks great!!

Too bad you're not closer. I'm populated with red cherry shrimp in my planted 10g to the point I net them out and feed them to my oscar and green severum. The O and Sev go nuts like kids under a busted pinata.

This is beautiful. I had a couple of cherries & my female had a hard molt. :( so now I just have a little male with some ghost shrimp buddies (since where we moved to has NO LFS's locally anymore!)
