Maybe 7? I was originally thinking 7, as in two males, five females. They're so damn cute, I want tonnes haha.
Then i dont belive shrimp would thrive, but once again idk nothing xd. Never kept gobies but they sure seem sweet <3 but if they were good with shrimp they would eat shrimplets so shrimp population would not explode.

Yeah the odds are really against the shrimp, but we'll see. I might just have some in the 30L. Though there should be more places to hide in the bigger tank, especially when I have lots of plants in it.

I'll have a chat with my lfs about the gobies, they're a fish specialist shop who really know their stuff. They should help me figure out what's a good number to take. Still want as many as possible haha.

Maybe start just with a couple and see how they get on? And you could try putting two or three shrimps in there and see how your gobies would get on with the shrimps?

I'd start with the more common less expensive kind like the cherry shrimp instead of the blue dreams. Ghost shrimp might have a good chance of surviving compared to the others too. ?

Yeah, ghosties are larger so larger chance but some fish may nip at shrimps until these are dead. Had my second betta nip at my cherries, lost couple after couple days.

I thought they'd just eat them in one go. ?
I'll keep an eye on them and see if they all behave. ? Thanks for the heads up.
