Hey guys!
I have a 20 gallon long tank, already cycled, and I'm wanting to start a shrimp tank (red crystal/cherry). And I'm wanting to plant the ground with Java Fern to make a luch, dense carpet covering the whole ground. But first I gotta find the shrimp and the ferns I'm looking for help to see if anyone could send me some, which would be great as I'm not yet old enough to buy for myself. But otherwise I look forward to getting all the help and suggestions I can from this forum!

  shrimps are fascinating to watch, if you want someone to donate you something it would help if you put your location, you never know someone might live close and could help

Man of Fish is in Atlanta and keeps shrimp.
Perhaps you could PM him.

Welcome! I would recommend planting and building up your plants first. Then you could probably order 20-30 shrimp online for $20 tops (check aquabid) and ask your parents to do that for you.

Give glass/ghost shrimp a shot.  They breed wildly in my planted tank and they have no larval stage which is a huge plus.

Welcome. If you are not old enough to buy them yourself, ask a parent to order some for you. Best of luck with your aquarium!
