Can some one please point me to a good article about keeping these shrimp. Like all the information about water conditions and stuff.

Hi Fred,

I have them in one of 12-gal tanks and they're breeding like crazy. I've had them for about 3 months and have already given out quite a bit.

No special care other than what you do for your fishes is necessary. They eat anything you leave in the tank, from veggies to flakes to algae tabs.

Here are some interesting links:

Good Luck.

Ravi

yes, I have done nothing special for mine and the 25 I bought have turned into 100's. Easy keepers.

Thanks for all the replies I will now read through these articles.

even in a heavily planted tank where the fish will eat them, they still breed like no tomorrow.
