neocaridina shrimp is what seems to do the best. Cherry shrimp are the hardiest of the neocaridina, but if your looking for blue variety of shrimps red dreams and red velvets are nice too. Just keep in mind any amount of amonia can be toxic to fish, so try to lower it to 0 ppm.
Here are some great care videos for the neocaridina shrimp. These videos are targeted to cherry shrimp but will work for most neocaridna shrimp
Thank you! the water will be preconditioned for a few days before I do a water change so ammonia should drop before entering the tank.

I have a 3.5 gallon tank i'm currently cycling that will be planted and I hope to get 10 or so shrimp for a shrimp only tank. I've been fish keeping for over a year but never any shrimp. My tap water parameters are
Ammonia .25-.5ppm
nitrite 0ppm
nitrate 0 ppm
pH 07.2-7.4
GH 125-150ppm
KH 120ppmtemp 74-72 (no heater)
I would love a blue variety shrimp, but which shrimp species will thrive given my parameters? The only chemicals I use is seachem prime for water changes. I am using a sponge filter rated for 20 gallons for filtration. I have a gravel substrate, capped with about 1 inch of sand, plus a handful of small stones (quarter size). Any advice about best shrimp species, foods, or other shrimp specific info is welcome!
best shrimp for my water parameters??

I have molly fry in one of my other tanks that are around a half inch, I can move some to this tank to build it up more before shrimp. something like that is what youre suggesting correct?
