new to shrimp+set up

[willow-puss]

HI all,

just set up ( last night actually ) a 2ft tank (app 45l) so i can have a go at keeping and breeding cherry shrimp; and I have a question-

I have some wood in the tank and have tied what moss I have onto it with nylon thread; now the shrimp at my LFS are tiny, would they get hurt by the thread (hope that doesn't sound dumb).


thanks in advance for any advice

My guess is the....the LFS? What will you be buying?

hi greenjar,

yep to the LFS,

just going to start out with some cherry shrimp bout 20 max, see how it goes.

Have been looking at the different types of shrimp and there are some beauties, but I'll start with some thing easier first, only ever had them in my community tank before and lost the lot so trying a tank on their own.

Also looking to get into co2 for the first time with this tank- have left a question in that section- so if you have any advice on that.....
