Breeding Ghost shrimp and Cherry Questions

[NoG0ingBack]

Okay i am going to start a 20 gallon tank full of ghost shrimp and cherry's. Its been about 4 weeks of the aquarium been up and filter cycling, I did a water test i got this results

PH.7.0
A.25
No2 0
No3 40

Is this safe enough to go ahead and put some shrimp in there? And once i do how many can i put like 100? 50? what should i feed them since they ill be the only ones in there and how often?

anyone know a place i can find any other types of shrimp online? Links would be helpful.


Thank you.


Btw the tank has alot of plants and moss balls with a power filter with a sponge over the intake. Should i add aquarium salt?

If that ammonia # is real (sometimes it can be hard to read), I'd wait for it to go to 0, then do a huge water change, then add shrimp.

Don't add 100 shrimp! 50 will probably not work either. Try 25 for best results.
