i would start of with a small group and let them breed. they breed like crazy. i would start with 8 of each and let them breed. they will eat algea wafers, cichlid and catfish pellets, peas and and fish food that falls to the floor.

ok so would 8 be ok in the 40ltr

8 of each so 16 should be fine to start and then keep some of the babies. but you will need to find somewhere to get rid of some of the babies or you will get over run.

Also they need a fully cycled filter/tank as shrimp are sensitive to water quality Smile
