2 - 1 male, 1 female! :P 20 will be fine :thumbup: Sourcing them from a few different places wouldn't do any harm - there's a chance they would have come from the same place/breeder, but there's a chance of it mixing up the gene pool a bit if not.

Had XL Czech Rams a while back and they soon polished off cherry shrimp and BIG amanos. Maybe while the rams are small shrimp would be OK, but if your rams are kept healthy they will soon get to a size where no shrimp are safe.

Shrimp don't carry babies - only the eggs, which eventually hatch into miniature versions of the adults. A berried shrimp has tens of small circular eggs on her underside, similar to this: Depending on the species it can be harder to see, though still obvious. In some species the underside...

You'd probably go into hiding yourself if a large predator started prowling the streets! :wink:
