Hi everyone! My name is Anja, and I live in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I'm not new in fishkeeping, although I've never had shrimps. I want to set up a tank for them in March, so I've signed up here to lean about their needs before that. Right now, I have a 40l tank with Gymnocorymbus Ternetzi, and one 250l tank that is unfortunately still empty (don't have enough money right now for equipment, but I plan to make it a Southamerican biotope with Pterophyllum Scalare once I collect enough money for that). Here's the picture of my 40l tank :) edit - picture is taken before I put fish in it, so that's why they can't be seen

Thank you! It's so nice to see an active forum these days. I have one empty small tank, will measure it later, I'm not sure how big it is. I'm thinking red cherry (it's the only species I can buy here, and based on my recent research, it should be good species to start with). I'll start a new topic here when I measure that tank, because I have so many questions about setup and everything needed for shrimps to thrive.

Welcome to the forum! What size of shrimp aquarium are you planning? The most important thing is what kind of shrimp you plan on keeping, neocaridina (cherry) are simpler than the Caridina, both have different water requirements so that will be your starting point? Simon
