I’m new on this website, and I am going to buy red cherry shrimp. I have never kept them before, so any advice is appreciated. I’m thinking about buying them from a website called Shrimpy Business, from what I can tell they have a good reputation but what do you guys think?

Make sure your tank is planted with lots of frilly type plants like hornwort and/or guppy grass and also driftwood. Also buy some moss and use aquarium glue to glue it to the driftwood. Shrimp love and need places to hide. Put a piece of calcium rocks in for stronger shells. Lighting should never be too bright, they shy away from it. Your filter doesn’t need to be strong if you’re only keeping shrimp in the tank as they don’t produce a lot of waste but the do need some sort of flow as they are filter feeders. Watch videos online and do a little reading and you’ll be an expert shrimper in no time.
Enjoy!
PS Shrimpy Business is an excellent supplier, I buy most of my shrimp from them and none have ever been DOA!!
