Sorry to borrow this post, i have a 2x1.5x2 tank with about 100+cherry shrimps inside the tank 6pencil fish and 1 apisto mamore. i find that it's on the high side, i guess it's due to the shrimps. Thou they are small but they do contribute quite alot to the bioload in the tank.

I bought mine from NA too. Bought 20 got 2 free [] According to Chan, the Cherry Shrimps he got are more hardy than Bumble Bee Shrimps in general.

Same as everyone $1 per peice.

the SAEs will eventually get too large and boisterous. it's fine for now but try to reduce the population once the SAEs grow bigger or you could change to smaller sized fishes to maintain the bioload.

they are already starting to pick on my poor cherry shrimps... wonder how long can they last together...
