I plan for my tank to look somewhat like this. Dense plants in the back and around the driftwood, and a large open area for fish to swim in.

CRS as in Crystal Red Shrimp???

You will want to keep them in a very mature tank with stable parameter and temps of around 18'C - 24'C max...

I personally feed mine specialzed shrimp food to ensure they get enough calcium and nutrients, but there are a lot of options out there...

For Cherry Reds, they are more forgiving, stable tank parameters and temps below 28'C with enough vegetation inside and they do okay...
