Made a bit of an impulse buy and bought ten red cherry shrimp on ebay, they are currently on their way to arrive tomorrow! I've been prepping up on how to care for them+have an empty ten gallon tank nicely planted for them, but realised I dont have a heater! Is this essential, or will they be okay at a little below room temp? May have to run out and buy one otherwise!
Also, is gravel an okay substrate for them? I'm planning on feeding them fishfood and some blanched greens, do they need supplements/ salt? please offer any experience/ advice on caring for them. I assumed they were a bit of a no brainer to look after, but their imminent arrival has got me worried, it would be nice not to kill them on their first day! Thanks
