Dear Kishore: Last year, I gave about 18 cherry shrimp, to a friend, who put them in a 40-gallon tank, which had been set up, for a couple of months. Most of the shrimp expired. With nano-shrimp, such as cherry shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) it is good to move them only to a tank which has been set up for at least four months. If there is bio-matter, in a tank, this gives biofilm a chance to cover all of the submerged surfaces, so the shrimp can graze, constantly. The nitrogen cycle, of a new set-up takes about six weeks, to complete. You can speed this up, by adding used, filter media, which is full of beneficial bacteria, to a new set-up. Until the nitrogen cycle is complete, ammonia spikes are likely to be dangerous for shrimp and fish. I hope you have good success, with your hobby. Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar
Dear Kishore: I appreciate your willingness to learn. I’ve been in the aquarist hobby for four decades. I just want you to have good success and for your pets and plants to be healthy and happy. I didn’t think cherry shrimp would do well, in an outdoor tote, where the temperature gets over 100°F. However, the tote is in a shaded area and Gabriel seems to be doing well, with his project. I highly recommend his Channel, on RUclips: G&C Aquatics I look forward to seeing updates, on your Channel. Sincerely, Brinegar

Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge.. As damage is done, Shrimps are already added..I will try to make over and control the damage.
