^ Depends on the type of Shrimp you want to keep?
Shrimp like CRS or Sulawesi etc can be a little bit more tricky to keep in comparison to say a regular tropical fish, only because they need to be kept within certain temp ranges (around 18'C - 26'C max for CRS) to really do well, and things like hardness etc can effect their growth and how well they shed... On the other hand Cherry Reds are pretty easy to keep and are a good entry shrimp as they seem to be more forgiving in comparison to CRS...
So i would say, first decide on which shrimp you want to keep, then setup a tank based on their needs, and finally get the shrimp...

I am trying my hand at shrimp. I m cycling a new Fluval EBI Shrimp Tank now. You can get lots of info from the Planted Tank Forum.
