Question
Hi Matt,
I have a 200 Liters freshwater Aquarium with different kind of snails including Apple. Also got hillstream loach + One pleco and Dwarf crayfish. Now I need to breed my Glass shrimps and I need your advice here and if it is possible.

Thank you  

Answer
Hi george,
You do not need much to breed glass shrimps.  All they need is a male and a female and a cycled tank.  Other dwarf shrimps like the Red Cherry Shrimp and the Crystal Red Shrimp are the ones that require pristine water.  I do want to warn you that the dwarf crawfish and depending on the size of the pleco, will eat the shrimps.
