Yessss it’s SUCH a great reasource. I keep ghost shrimp in my betta tanks because they are harder to see + bigger so my bettas leave them alone. But cherry shrimp are such fun!!! ✨

Cycling your tank basically means building up enough beneficial bacteria in your tanks ecosystem to safely consume and detoxify any waste your shrimp might produced. I like to set my tank up, use Seachem stability and let the filter run and occasionally adding small amounts of food for a few weeks

Not sure if you’re active on Reddit but there’s TONS of aquarium hobbyist threads on there that make fantastic resources!

The main thing is you want to make sure your tank is cycled and water parameters are good! You can buy a API freshwater kit for the most accurate at home testing- or a pet store
