I don't count them into stocking. Then again all my tanks are over stocked. I guess you could count 50 shrimp as 1 fish if you wanted to.
Do small shrimp contribute to the bioload much?
I'm curious how much amano shrimp and cherry shrimp (or other similar small shrimp) contribute to the bio load of a tank?
Do you need to factor them into stocking?

Ive read that a ten gallon can hold 150 dwarf shrimps.
I would consider that to be pretty low IMO.Ive read that a ten gallon can hold 150 dwarf shrimps.

And that number may not have taken plants into consideration. Enough plant mass can do crazy things for water quality.
I've heard it said 10 grown shrimp to 1 gallon, however I have more.
I have 20 adults and 100 babies in a 3 gallon. Still plenty of room for everyone at the moment but it's getting a little much for me to look at. LOL! Thinning out this week.
i believe they are very low stocking anybody got any tips on ideal conditions to breed ghost shrimp??
