Shrimp Per Gallon?

I'm looking to get a planted nano tank up and running with a couple shrimp.

However I'm getting VERY mixed reviews on how many shrimp per gallon.
I've been hearing everything from 1 per gallon to 25 per gallon.

What in your opinion is an appropriate number?

Shrimp have little to no effect on the bioload of a tank. SO have fun!

Haha, thanks Amanda. Not to mention thanks for all the help you've been in almost every if not every thread I've made since joining. lol.

I guess I'll just throw a few in, and if they breed and fill out the tank, that's their choice. lol.

lol, I'm always around on fishlore. Just remember that shrimp are very sensitive to water conditions, so make sure the tank is cycled first.
And NO copper meds/plant supplements.

Thanks for the heads up, but no worries. I know about the copper from dealings with Apple Snails, and I only plan to have extremely low care plants. ie. java ferns/moss or etc.

I had a 10 gallon cherry shrimp tank last year. It generally held at least several hundred of various sizes right before they were thinned out and shipped. An air-driven sponge filter works best for them IME.
