Crystal red shrimp! Tips?

[ShorKie]

Heyyy, I love crystal red shrimp and I definitely want to get them in a 5 gallon some time. I know the basics but if you have any tips or tricks for me on these shrimps I'd love to hear from you!

You will need RO water ,if you can go for 10g tank all the better if not you must make sure that it's not only cycled but stable as well, give it at least 3 months running before add ing shrimp
Once the cycle as finished put something like guppies in there to keep the cycle going until its ready for shrimp
Other must have are
TDS meter
Gh/kh/ph test kit as well as the normal ones
Salty be gh+ minerals
You can start getting the extras in straight away
