| I am thinking about setting up a fluval edge 6 gallon aquarium for shrimp and i was wondering what plants can be put in there. How many shrimp, whats a good plant to make the tank look like it has grass. Any one who has owned one any advice | |

| Naja/Guppy Grass , Java Moss , Christmas moss are all good for a shrimp tank . Also a piece of driftwood goes nice also. | |

| you're going to want moss in the tank with shrimp in it. Quite a few shrimp can go in a 6 gal as most aquarium shrimp are quite small. |

| I use micro swords in my shimp tank, it looks just like grass, it grows slow and spreads. I trim it down with scissors. The shrimp use it when they molt, it makes them a great hiding place until thier new shell hardens. Also you want to leave the old shell in the tank, the shrimp will eat them. | |

| The moss balls are dead on the inside. Micro chain sword will look good but it is high light.
What kind of shrimp are you looking at? |

| Yep, and tie you some java moss or one of the other on your driftwood, RCS love the mosses. They like the moss ball, too. So you can throw some in there, too. | |
