I have a 10g tank and I am planning to add about 2 ghost shrimp with my 4 Blood eyed tetras. Is it a good idea? Do they have any special needs, etc..

I read up on them a lot and really wanted a few. They don't have a section for them, but, a few weeks ago I saw them scattered over a few tanks across the stores.

Yea most of the LFS here, don't really have a "shrimp tank" they just toss them in various tanks throughout the stores.

IMO, I would see if you can find Cherry Shrimp. They have color, look better than Ghost Shrimp, require the same needs, and does the same job as Ghost Shrimp. But pick some up cause they will clean up extra food.

Mystery snails are great. With a Snail/Shrimp combo you will never see algae on the snails shell(it happened to me, dont ask lol).

Petsmart has them in with Female Guppies and Zebra Danios over here lol. I would think they would just throw them in the tank. But they sell quick.
