Want to Create a 10 Gallon Shrimp Tank: Where do I Begin?

[SilverArowanaBoi]

Also I have a question for those who know about nano fish, would this be an ok stocking for my tank?

6 Celestial Pearl Danios, 4 Blue Neon Gobies and 6-10 Blue Shrimp

Or this:

1 Chocolate Gourami, another kind of goby (not certain yet) and 6-10 Shrimp

Is this going to be a breeding tank? Or purely just display? Any fish would and will eat baby shrimp if the shrimps breed. If you want to breed shrimp and keep fish in the same place, maybe let the shrimp get a head start and have some more coverage (plants, hidey holes, etc). Ofc I haven't bred shrimp or kept CPDs so take my word with a grain of salt

Well darn...I have a sad update yet again. My archerfish growout is dead. RIP Spitfire. Honestly I didn't really plan for this, so I will have to think about my next move.

I want it to be a display tank but I was growing out my archerfish in it. But now that he is dead, I will have to plan how I will carry on. The ghost shrimp I had in the tank were not there for display, there were purely clean up crew, ig I'll either put them in the main tank and see how long they will last or take them to the fish store for some credit and start over.
