Cherry or ghost shrimp

From what I hear, cherry shrimp are significantly easier. Ghosts supposedly need salt to breed if I remember right. Cherries just need a male and female
Cherries are much easier. Ghost go through a pelagic larval stage that is a pain in the neck. Cherries drop fully developed shrimplets that are easy to grow. Neither seem easy enough to me to get the numbers you would need to feed as a primary food. If I was going to try I would set up a wading pool with a big ball of java moss in the middle. Drill a bulkhead in the pool so you can drain it easily to do water changes and have a sponge filter running. Let the moss go crazy.
Yes it wouldn't be primary until they are prolific. My thought was to do a couple Rubbermaid ponds full of them with plants and just feeding and checking on them.
I currently have 220 cherries
And about 30 ghosts
All are moulting.
I have 5 ghosts juggling eggs currently

COnvict cichlids are prolific breeders..............A pair can easily lay two spawns every month...........The fish can easily be bred in 10g tanks.............Setup 3 tanks with a pair in each one.............Doing the three tank setup ensures a steady flow of fry anytime............
self cloning crayfish. No breeding necessary.
