I also started a RCS tank. Just got them for 4 days.
Yesterday one female already carrying some eggs. I brought the RCS from a guy on AC. He mix all size RCS. I order 24 RCS for $25. He gave me some extra with java moss. Then he told me that the older RCS females don't breed as well as younger females that why some are smaller than other. I am also a noob to shrimps. My tank is a 37gallon tank. I got 60 pound plant black gravel of the craiglist for $20. I posted on the craiglist that I needed java moss and java ferm before i got my shrimps. Someone gave me some java moss free. I still waiting for the java ferm. An guy was selling me 4 meduim java ferm and a bunch of small ones for $5. My friend gave me 13 mini anubias plant for free. I just needed low lighted plants for now. The drift wood was also given to me for free too. My use planted gravel came with malaysian trumper snail. I did or got all this to start a shrimp tank. I am breeding them to feed my frontosa fishes. Frontosa can only be feeded sinking pellet or they float and die. So shrimps will be perfect for them.
