Im a complete novice at shrimp, and starting to research on keeping them. I have read the new setup guide on here, and just want some direction of what to look into reading and getting, to setup a very small shrimp tank? i have: a 11ltr(3usgal) tank (13Lx6.5Wx8H")... whats the ideal amount of shrimp for this size (1 or 2 or what??? lol), small25w heater, an option of a Fluval 1plus filter pump, AquaOne HOB filter, or a small air filter...which would you suggest i use? i know your going to say air filter, so ill have to buy another airpump, no problemo. my tap water stands at 7.3ph and around 8~12 gh 6~10 kh. what shrimp thrive in these conditions (or what would i have to change to to get the cons just right)?
Substrate i have spare are: Play sand, Crushed coral (will raise ph), gravel. i would like to use playsand as i love the look of it.
Live plants i was thinking large-ish amount of Christmas moss/Java Moss and maybe 1 small plant, i dont want to use a co2 canister, would the previous be ok without one, what would you suggest?
Thanks for any replies i get
