You just keep suprising me with these shrimp tanks man! Im so excited to make mine, cant wait for payday. I just started seeding the 10g with my backup AC so hopefully it wont take too long to cycle, if any.
Shrimp wafers, if you want good color. They could *probably* live off of algae on the cabombas, but buy some shrimp/lobster/catfish algae wafers.

Well it's been bumped so how about an update? 
I want some yellow neos and pearl blues myself, just gotta find them. The tanks and shrimp look(ed) great!
How are those yellows breeding for you now?

the yellows are finally breeding, but I have had them for about 9 months and have lost several. they are much more difficult to keep than the cherry shrimp, despite whatever you will read online. My cherry shrimp are doing great, but the yellows have just started to reproduce.
The blues are hard to find also, and arent as colorful as you might think, they are more of a pale bluish milky white, and really arent very active.
I also have green Babaulti shrimp, which are doing great, a bit noctournal, and are the same color as the plants in my tank, so are difficult to see. they are doing pretty good as well.
I am getting ready to relocate all my tanks to another area of my house, so wehn I do, I'll get new Pix up for exeryone.

Woww, I just read from start to finish. Good job with your tanks! I'm setting up a 10 gallon RCS tank too and this thread has been so helpful
Hmm
the 10 they were in is now for CRS
and the RCs are in a 20, and a 15...
So maybe you're right, new pix might be necessary!

I was going to ask you about the yellows because they are giving me a fit. I have RCS and blue pearls and have absolutely no trouble with them. I have tried the yellows 3 times and they have all died each time. Completely frustrating. I've turned the 20 gallon long that I had for the yellows into a snail only tank.
