It'll be fine on its own, but will do well with friends.

Ghost shrimp are pretty great. They add a little excitement to a tank thats full of fish. They do fine in groups and have funny little personalities. Keep in mind they are crazy escape artists though. Just be sure that if adding more to your tank, you still have plenty of hiding places and that all the shrimp will have food.

I love Ghost Shrimp, many of my tanks have 3 Ghost Shrimp in them. They patrol around the tank looking for food, climb the plants and swim upside down to get food on the surface. They are fun to have.
Some people keep them in tanks with just Ghost Shrimp, neat stuff.

The worst a ghost shrimp will do to another ghost is eat him if he dies. I keep 3-10 in my main tank for late night snacks for my catfish. They've never bothered each other.

Ghost shrimp are not aggressive. In fact, if you have a big enough aquarium, several of them would be fine. They are good at cleaning up the bottom of your aquarium.

Sure you can. They do great in groups. If you have the room in the tank add 3-4 more, they are fun to watch in a group
