Just an FYI, their scientific name is no longer Caridina japonica. It's Caridina multidentata.
Look in your other thread (brown algae) for more info.

How would i figure out how many i could have in my tank, i do not want to over load it, as i have no idea of how many three day old fry i have, seems every where i look theres two or three..

Shrimp have a very low bioload, you could easily keep 12-15 of them

Sweet, my only thing is im alergic to shell fish lol, but im hoping since its fresh water and as long as i dont touch i should be fine,,i can handle crawfish no problem..going to be interesting��

I'd up your cories to 6, first. Remember, same species.
Yes, you could easily do a ton of shrimp even with the cories.

I need to get rid of fry first

[Anders247]

Swordtail fry? I'd just have all males if I were you.

[Cubikins]

No, i like the females, i have a local small pet store that will buy from me, has for years but wants them to be a certian size.
