    I was asked today to do some research on the care of ghost shrimp so that we can keep them in stock long term at the shop I work in. I figured what better way to start than the most knowledgeable forum on the net. Tell me what you know about them. so far we have a 10 gallon tank with a small HOB filter for them, to live in. what else do I need? What kind of diet do I need? any other information is welcome. Thank you in advance.

    Whenever I was working at the aquarium, we fed the glass shrimp shrimp pellets. Now that I type this, it seems kind of odd...:/ But then again, we did the same thing at PetSmart for the ghost shrimp. *shrugs*
