Like the title says il looking to get a small group of them but want to make sure my tank is just right.

20 gallon high
High tech pressurized co2
Ph-6.5
Kh-0
Gh-5

Anything else?

What other shrimp can I keep with them? I was looking at CBS, tiawan fire reds, or yellow shrimp

Yellow should be very tolerant of almost any water conditions that are considered fish safe. My RCS live in a tank that is 55 degrees, super intense hard water, and PH almost at 8...

Brad,

I've got some Sakura Cherries (juvies) if you're interested. They'll live in any water condition that's fish safe as well. Super prolific! $1/shrimp. LMK dude.
