What exactly does caring for crystal-shrimp entail?
wow, which LFS did you go to?

theres many types of shrimps, but for sure fish are much easier to care for than shrimps. they're really prone to ammonia

as for CRS they're almost like discus they need alot of care and Waterchanges

what you should do is start off with RCS, red cherry shrimps. then you can go on to PFR, painted fire red. which is just a Much deeper Red than the RCS.

after you think your good. start off with A grade CRS then move on to S grade or SS or even SSS. but if you have S and SS and they breed. you will have all kinds of different forms.

whats popular on the shrimp market is the BKK. black king kong. going at 60-300 a piece !
