Ignore the clown killi fish, she likes to photobomb.
Yes I know some shrimp keepers cull the duller ones, but I refuse, I love all my skrimps. I don't care if their 'grade' goes down over time, they're my babies.
Hell yeah

At six and the morning when you were up until 3 in the morning:

Good place to start, this place is legit: https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/cherry-shrimp-care
They've got a great YouTube channel as well
thank!
I used to have fish but I got tired of having to drink all the tank water everytime i cleaned it out. Its a lot of water
You don't need to drink it. You can also make soup or cook pasta with it...
OMG CHERRY SKRIMPS
Skyrimps
Shrimpy so cool 
I keep zooming in on each individual one and noticing the silly eyeballs and am loving them. They are cute lil guys

Skrimps are bugs
Cool bugs that is
I'm passionate about glass boxes filled with water and beautiful friends, and this is a good one.
I love my neocardina! If you have a suitable tank you should get some immediately because you'll be cleaning it much less often. Unfortunately tank mates are hard, most fish will eat the fry and probably at least attempt to go for the adults, although I have successfully had them thriving and even breeding in a 15 gallon with a betta who once, with a full stomach, devoured 4 the moment they were added and before I had a chance to intervene. Trick was to add the betta to an already established group, although people report mixed results with this method. Really interesting behavior, basically the perfect aquatic pet
I've had good luck so far by pairing them with 5 Zoogoneticus Tequilas in a 40 gallon breeder. The fish definitely can eat the baby shrimp, but having plenty of plant/algae masses to hide in should mitigate that. They are great fish in need of conservation and not much harder to care for than your more traditional live-bearers, like guppies and swordtails.
Side note, one of the female Tequilas just gave birth yesterday and the other two appear to be pregnant!
I wasn't familiar, what a cool fish, congrats on being a tequila grandparent!
Also, holy shit you weren't kidding:
Zoogoneticus tequila is endemic to the Ameca River basin in west-central Mexico. Its current distribution is restricted to a single spring pool in Teuchitlán, only 4 metres (13 ft) in diameter, where a population consisting of less than 50 adult fish live
Is it hard/expensive to get started with an aquarium? I love the idea with it but it’s scary to get started :c
you can find a lot of used aquarium and equipment in your local adverts. I still have a lot of aquarium stuff I need to get rid of since I stopped running my tanks. Learn the nitrogen cycle, and keep things simple. Aquarium shops will try to sell you a bunch of expensive stuff that you don't need. Get good filter media (porous rocks with a lot of surface area to allow beneficial bacterial to grow for the nitrogen cycle), you never need to replace filter media. If the flow of your filter slows down, just rinse the media with tank water.
A place to see all of our furred, feathered and scaled comrades!
