    Let's say bee shrimps only tank... Provided there are enough food(algae or veg), hiding place, cold temp, clean water, no predator.. 200 should not be a problem huh?[] []

    Not sure about wood shrimp, the others are ok to mix. Have lots of moss and keep the temp low(26-28C).

    Yeah... grow the moss, try to have a thick lushous layer that covers the gravel entirely, throw in a piece of driftwood... THEN put in the shrimps.

    Chan from NA has a cherry shrimp tank on this cashier desk... go check it out. Its beautiful!

    From my wn experience, its ok to mix Yamatos (5), Cherry (20), Bumble Bees (10) and Tigers (10). The numbers in the brackets are how many I have in my 2ft tank among my rummy nose and Cardinals.

    the wood shrimps are filter feeders so u might have to provide them with some kind of micro food. maybe suspended bits of flake food should be okay for them.

    boiled spanish
    thin slice carrot
    cucumber
    sinking pellets
    shrimp pellets
    algae waffer
    cory pellet.

    if u're having a planted tank do not feed too much as most of them contain high amount of polyphosphate(PO4) which will result in algae growth.
    Cheers!
