Thanks, yes, most of them house the shrimp in 2 ft tank. But I am new to shrimp so bigger volume of water, it will give me bigger margin of error with tank water.

And don't need to change water so often.

My 4ft shrimp planted tank have 4 new CRS female and 18 CRS new male.

Two day ago I saw the male CRS started dancing. Last night one female CRS die and this morning I found another female CRS half body being eaten. The other two female CRS went missing.

I counted 18 male CRS in the tank.

Can it be too many male CRS in the tank which result in stressing the female.

What is a good female to male ratio to keep in a tank?

Would be nice to see a 4 feet tank fully filled with shrimps!

A good mix could be 50:50 or 4males:5females. Slightly more males is fine too, but 4 females and 18 maybe too much for the female to handle.

Yes, I realize too late that too many males in one tank is not good for the female.

i don't think ur tank of over populated, 4 ft can keep a few hundred CRS, what u can do it reduce stress is to make places were shrimp can hide, shrimp caves will do a fine job
