I just picked up a one gallon tank at a thrift store on a whim, it looks to be in pretty good shape, it came with an air stone and UGF (which I'm replacing). So- I know that there really aren't any fish that can be kept in such a small tank, and I was thinking ghost shrimp. But, I was wondering how many I could keep in this tank. So this is what I was thinking, a well planted tank with sand for them to burrow in. I read on the fishlore profile that they can live in 65*F water, is that okay, or is a heater ideal? And I was thinking of feeding them a mix of shrimp pelets, algae pelets, and bloodworms.

Here are all my questions back to back-
1 Ghost shrimp, yes or no?
2 If yes, how many?
3 Do I need a heater? (my house is about 70*F all day)
4 Diet- shrimp/algae pelets and bloodworms, is that okay?

Thanks in advance

1) yes
2) don't know I've had 5+ in a ten gallon with other fish
3) probably not just don't put it on an outside wall
4) yep

Great, thanks. What do you mean when you say 'outside wall'?
And I think I'm only going to get one, because I like being able to tell my fish apart.

the outside walls of the house. I have a couple tanks that I have to monitor the temp in the summer and in one case unplug the heater because it's getting two much heat.

Okay, gotcha. Thanks for your help.
