Oh shoot, that's great to hear! Can I look into more of your shrimp tanks and projects? I would like to see

Thank you for all the tips everyone! I am starting with just a few shrimp and then following with a few tetra. I'll keep in mind getting the shrimp first. I already got all the materials and now just setting up. I hope to post a progress report on here for some criticism. Thanks again! @ibebian I'm from Orange County!

Hello everyone! I'm Brian from California. I did a bit of browsing and I'm glad to have found such a great community. I'm interested in starting a small 10-20g tank consisting mostly of red cherry shrimp and maybe a few tetras! I want to keep it low maintenance as I get more comfortable with taking care of the shrimp before I move forward with different species. Of course I want the tank to be planted as well, but definitely kept simple (is there such thing as a minimally planted tank that doesn't need CO2?) Anyways, I'm hoping to start soon and would like some tips on what I might need to focus on before I actually get the shrimp. Any advice would be great! Thank you
