How Many Shrimp!?

[Hallett]

Hey,

Just wondering how many shrimp you cna have in a 12 gallon. I like have a few fish and like 7 shrimp at the moment. the tiny shrimp something j they're called. I know they're young can only survive in salt water if that helps

But I was just wondering how they'd effect the tank and if you can overstock them really. Cuz I'd love to have loads of the things but if its going to overstock it and just cause issues i'll leave it!

cheers

what you have is probably cardinia japonica AKA amano shrimp

what fish do you have in there at present?

2 ancistrus 2 zebra loaches...Pretty sparce lol

the loaches will probably kill the shrimps you could easily have 100-200 shrimps in their with no fish
