Keep parameters and temp correct, add substrate, lots of plants and driftwood fir them to climb on and add some java Moss for the babies to hide in...

Naturally keep them fed and you should see babies in no time...

Oh, and cover any filter intakes so you dont suck the babies up...

All i do is feed them and change water once a month and they breed like crazy. Keep in mind though my tank is overfiltered and planted

Does temperature matter much?

My tanks isnt heated and stays around 74-76. Rcs are alot more forgiving than other shrimp

Would it be okay to run an ac20 on a 10 gallon with driftwood and java moss?

Id make sure to put some type of prefilter over the intake so babies dont get sucked up

Thanks for the help, does java moss require any special lighting or co2?

No java moss will grow in pretty much any conditions
