I had 300 in a 3 gallon tank. Utilize all the space, put moss logs (with suction cups) on the sides, floating plants, etc. Shrimp like to bottom dwell unless you give them more ledges to hang out on. You can keep a lot more than you would imagine. I have about 200 in a 20 gallon tank right now and if you were to just glance in there you would think there are maybe 60. Until you realize can easily count 20 in about a 3 inch square area of the tank. I have 100 in a 10 gallon and could easily have 200-300 more and not be a problem.
