Ghost Shrimp Care [Diet, Lifespan, Breeding & More]
The ghost shrimp, also known as glass shrimp, is a freshwater crustacean popular with fishkeepers of all experience levels.
Because they are easy to care for, ghost shrimp are a great addition to any tropical community aquarium containing small, non-aggressive fish.
Ghost shrimp are not for the sentimental, as their life spans just one year on average, but this also makes them much more affordable.
Ghost shrimp can be used as feeders for larger fish or as tank cleaners in community tanks.

~How many ghost shrimp can I put in a 10-gallon tank?~

However, the rule only applies when you’re keeping a species tank. If you’re keeping your ghost shrimp in a community tank, then you should consider the other tank inhabitants as well.
For example, if you’re keeping them with fish, then you should know that most fish need a gallon of water for every inch of their body. Keep that in mind to avoid overcrowding your tank.
