Hi dave, you could add a couple but you may struggle for space given all the shrimp you have and wanting to add more of the gerts. You could try adding 4 or so but its hard to tell which are male or females in a shop as theyre colours are very bland. They also like a really soft acidic water and hiding spaces.
You could go for one male and 2 or 3 female.

thanks for the advice,think i'll just add the extra gerts and see how it goes from there

cheers dave
