2.5 gallon tank is available, so I want to do a little shrimp breeding project. What cherry shrimp variety is the easiest to breed and sell??
2.5G Shrimp Breeding?

Any really. 2.5g will be difficult to keep stable when feeding enough to get shrimp populations to explode. I had some in an 8g and quite easily overdid it on nitrates, bacterial infection killed quite a few. If you want to breed shrimp for spending money it's best to start with a larger tank 
My lfs says I can sell them to them. What is the best color wise?Any really. 2.5g will be difficult to keep stable when feeding enough to get shrimp populations to explode.

Red cherries are pretty bulletproof, I call them my bathtub babies, aka I could probably breed them in a bathtub.
I agree a 2.5 is not really good to breed anything. Maybe do a shrimp display?
Ok, maybe I could just do a little display with shrimp and some kind of dwarf fish? What fish can live in there, if any?
Little gobies I know can live in there. Will they eat shrimp, though? Dwarf puffers need groups. Pygmy Catfish not sure about.
