I don't have the most densely planted tank unfortunately. I have a java fern, vallisanaria, java moss on mopani wood, and some small anubias plants but nothing is huge. I do have a couple of decorations that the shrimp seem to like (spongebob's house, squidward house and a half coconut shell). I'm probably overreacting haha I'm just worried I'm going to do something wrong.

Hello, I was hoping I could get some advice on chery shrimp. This is the first time breeding anything as my family has only been in the aquarium hobby for a few months. I have a think 2 pregnant cherry shrimp and I'm wondering if I should put them in a breeder box until they have there babies? My concern is that these shrimp are in a community tank with glofish tetras, snails and some corydoras so I don't want any little ones getting gobbled up. I'm also scared of gravel vaccuming them up as well once they hatch. I've also noticed today that a lot of my shrimp have been swimming more than usual instead of their normal grazing and was wondering if this is normal or if something could be wrong. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hello I'm Adeena! My family are first time fish keepers. We have a 29 gallon tank with just a few plants in it that we plan on putting some glofish tetra's, neon tetras and cherry shrimp. We have our first 2 glofish in quarantine at them moment as we only got them this afternoon! ( My kids are beyond excited). I do plan getting more glofish as I know they like to be in groups of 5 or more, but I was told by the employee at petco that we should start with 2 and add slowly so we don't get big amonia spikes( I would love advice or input on this). I look forward to being a part of this community and learning all I can about this hobby.
