I hv tank full of cheap shrimps. Not sure about rcs but basically u need a moss tank. Or algae tank and preferbly planted tank where shrimps can swim around em. I suppose when u hv these shrimps u cannot put aggresive fishes. So probably u gotta live with tetras or guppys

if you want a shrimp tank i would suggest a shrimp only tank.

if you want a shrimp tank with community fish then you MUST have LOTS of hiding places ( moss, caves, lots of plants if possible) so that the babies dont get eatten

since baby shrimp are very small, its important to make sure your filter system is shrimp safe.

if you use a sponge filter, that would be best.  it will ensure that you shrimp wont be sucked into the filter and die.  The best looking sponge filter system would be this the HM filter

there are other filters like sponge filters with an air tube down the middle to provide flow but they can be quite noisy

if you happen to use a canister or HOB (hand on back) then you will need to put a size 40 sponge filter ( that means larger holes in the sponge) on the filter intake.

have fun
