Hi I am hoping to get about 10 1" long red cherry shrimp. Can anyone tell me the answers to a few questions I have please....
1) How good are they at keeping algae at bay (assuming water params are not seriously out of kilter)
2) What water params do they prefer
3) Can they handle softer/ acidic environment
4) Do they target any specific algae type
5) Is 1" big enough to avoid being a snack for an Apistogramma dwarf cichlid ?
6) How fussy are they ? IE how soon after setting up the tank can they go in ? (Im setting up a planted tank with liquid ferts and liquid carbo, will be around 26 degrees temp, there will be heaps of large water changes in the first few weeks... 50% a day for first week, 50% every other day next week, 50% twice a week in week three if params are OK then 50% once a week after that I hope)
Anything else I should be asking ?
Thanks
