So hopefully in the near future I will be getting a 5.5 gallon tank, (20.8L) shrimp tank. I want to have a shoaling fish of some kind as well, but probably not. It will most likely be just some cool shrimp.
 
Here are the pictures of the shrimp-

Rili Shrimp
 
 
Before I start this tank my plants in my 15g have to grow a bit as I am using those plants, and I also have to buy sinking pellets (I will be getting cories), I have algae wafers, and I also need a heater. Im getting a 50w as I want it to be backup for my 15g, if I ever need it. If you can recommend a cheap, but nice, brand that would be good,
 
Tell me what you think! 
 
Also, if anyone has any of these shrimp, how easy are they to care for? I have been reading up a bit, and they all seem fairly easy. My pH in my tank after 24 hours is 7.2, and my pH from tap is around 7.8-8.2
 
I've got some blue carbon rili shrimp coming tomorrow for my 20l nano tank. Nano tanks look great with shrimp in IMO, I can't wait for my plants to flourish and the shrimps to settle in. I think you should definatly go for a nice little planted shrimp tank, and I would say go for the rilis :) you could even go for two different types that won't interbreed
 
Well, I strayed far away from this list and will be getting Brazzilian Yellow Bellied Shrimp from azgardens.com

This way I.dont need a heater, and they will actual be perfectly fine with my pH
 
I wish my Cardinal shrimp would be a bit more friendly.....
 
I was intrigued as I hadn't heard of those shrimp & did some googling.
If I were you I'd do the same as what you're ordering might not be what you receive ;)
 
Haha, the bummble bee shrimp is also another shrimp, so Icouldnt order blindly. But I found a site with the more shrimp like variations
