These little guys are easy to breed and fun to breed. With Discus breeding there's too much wishing and hoping and thinking and praying involved.
    How many of these shrimp do I need to buy to get fry? And what do the shrimp eat?

    All you really need as a male and female shrimp. The females are the more colorful ones of the types I've raised. I started with 12 and now I have tons of them and take them to the LPS frequently.
