Recommended Parameter: 27C-30C, PH 7.5+, GH 5+, TDS 200+.
They are very shy but will eventually come out more as they get used to the environment. I suggest to have 10 or more in the tank, best to have 20+ because they would feel safer, be less shy, and will come out more. It's normal for them to hide for weeks when introduced to a new tank.
Feeding:
One thing about feeding is that they can be trained to eat introduced food, but most of the time they won't take anything you feed them in the beginning. Take it slow and definitely don't over feed them. If you don't see them eat the introduced food, then try it once a week until you can observe them eat what you give them. Even then, feed very little. In a tank of 50, I wouldn't feed more than 3 rice grain size of any food and less than 3 times a week. That's why I keep them with rabbit snails and just feed the snails instead.
Water Change:
I have heard many bad things about water change to these shrimps. I would suggest small amount like 10% every 3-4 weeks.
