    k+ man, never easy. Are you using these guys to cycle the tank? If so 2 will be plenty, and you can get more (prettier) fish down the road!

    well either way if your still cycling a shrimp simply can not survive in your tank. don't waste your money on ANYTHING else and let your tank mature for a couple months, do you test your water with any kits?

    well the tank isnt that old... I thought shrimps and crabs were safe because they are like filters... also is live rock ok to put in now?
