Thinking about shrimp for my 10 gal.

[jpappy789]

As the title suggests I am thinking about shrimp for my 10 gallon. It's planted and currently houses two brigs. The only criteria I have is that I don't really want a shrimp reproduce rapidly, which I guess leaves RCS out of the picture.

Any suggestions?

I LOVE my Bamboo!

Hmmm, I like them but would like to stick with dwarf shrimp. I'd rather have a colony but not sure I want something as extreme as RCS. I think I would be overrun quickly, no?

tiger shrimp, bumble bee shrimp, blue pearl shrimp or mabye sulawesi shrimp? those would be a neat tank!

Yeah, Bamboo does NOT = "dwarf"

There are many low order breeding shrimp that require BW to breed That are readily available. Perhaps something like that would be ideal Like my orange shrimp. I do love my lil guys they are pretty awsome.

$20/sulawesi = way too expensive for my liking.

Orange shrimp eh? I'll have to look into those. I don't see much in terms of selection around here, mainly RCS and ghosts.

Any more suggestions for species?

Why not add only males of any dwarf shrimp you prefer so you can actually mix species that interbreed, but won't seeing you have all males. That would be pretty interesting seeing cherries,yellows,blues, etc etc in the same tank.
