The wife made me get this to keep my random stuff in lol.

If you have 100 breeding size females you should have 2,000+ shrimp in a few months lol. Also 5 males can handle it I seen 1 male breed with 6 females in 1 night. 

His not saying he ordered a bunch of males it's his colony is mostly males.
 
This seems to be the norm in most colonies I personally remove most males and toss them into a single tank housing all the bachelors. Some of the breeders I spoke with will do the same because like you mention large groups of males can easily kill the females and honestly I rather see males go before I lose any females.
 
You only need a few good males to breed with the ladies and if you get low grab some from your bachelor tank.

First time I have ever heard moonlights helping with breeding.
 
Personally I give them a break. I notice even in the day shrimp will take cover in dark corners so I'm sure they like some dark time.

Another budget macro pic. If anyone ever used this simple extension tubes I would love to hear what you guys do for better quality.

The male behavior might just be the result of a female molting or ready to mate. In my mixing of neos with tigers and TB's I can't recall any issues if anything Neos tend to out produce TB's and can out compete them for food.
 
If cherry's are anything is resilient so I think they will be fine till the TB's move out.

Berried Blue Bolt!
 

A couple shots I just took of my TB's

I took some more pics that I would like to share.  I used a flash this time so there more detail in these.  Here are the OEBT's. 

Man that really sucks. About the only good thing from this is that your cull tank got hit an not the main tanks.

DET is this the look your working towards? 

Looking good man!!!
 
I find it hard my self to keep a simple shrimp tank also haha
 
 
 
They range in sizes, Greenteam wanted a bigger one haha. I have them a tad smaller then golfball size also.

Fingers crossed. Good looking Mischling!

Last but not least I transferred all but 2 of my remaining Pintos into the new tank. 
 
I was surprised with all the deaths in the original tank from the accident that all 3 females are plump with eggs! 
 
The overall  design is simple with minimal plants. In the center as the focal point I have my rare Echinodorus sp Iguazu from Argentina 2009, and a tiny piece of mini pellia growing on mineral stone.
 
Also my sponge filter has this old over grown look from the mini pellia taking over it which the shrimp love.

Got my package from Han and Soil from Amazon. I will fill the tank tonight and transfer the Eheim +Sponge filter in the morning.

1 week after setup and have my first berried female mischlings.
 
Another mischling female is saddled so in a few days might have another female berried. If this tank explodes with pinto mischlings I might have to sell some sooner then expected.
