How Many Black Diamond Shrimp in a 10-Gallon Tank?
In a 10-gallon tank, plan on about 1–2 Black Diamond Shrimp, leaving room for tankmates and filtration headroom.
Why
Stocking is driven by adult size and waste output, not just fish count. Black Diamond Shrimp reaches about 0.6" with a light bioload, and needs 65–78°F water at pH 6.5–8. Always cycle the tank and test water before adding livestock.
