Wood Shrimp/Bamboo Shrimp Stocking

[Signus]

It's probably been asked many times before, so I'm a bit embarrassed to ask it again.

How many Wood Shrimp per gallons should one stock their tank?

 

[bencozzy]

i think its one for every 5 gallons, there the filter feeding ones right?

 

[Signus]

Yes. They eat detritus as well, but they'd rather have the outflow from the filter. I noticed at petco that they were selling them (Gainesville is not known for selling shrimp).

Hm.. I'm still trying to decide. With my cherry barbs, cherry shrimp are nearly out of the question.

Thanks Bencozzy
