I was wondering can you keep your shrimp with fishes or will the fish eat them all.

I wanted some shrimp to clean my fish tank that has plants and tetras but not sure if the shrimp would just be food for my fishes?

@ttpiett I'd say the best recipe for success with shrimp and fish is to stick with VERY peaceful community fish with at least a 20g tank that has lots of plants and places for the shrimp to hide.

i just recently bought a red cherry shrimp and a amano shrimp and i wanted to know if there is anything else you can feed them besides fish flakes?

[Jazbar4]

@MexicanNYAmerican They will eat anything but there is no need to feed them...they are scavengers and will be fine with leftover scraps and algae.

omg can a red cherry strimp be so big? how big can a RCS be-.-'?

[Jazbar4]

@Mrhonganify. :) These are normal size.....the largest shrimp here are as large as they can get at nearly 1.5 inches.

@Theodosia2839. I've never kept ghost shrimp before but if I remember correctly they need brackish water to hatch no?

@Theodosia2839 ghost shrimp don't give birth to baby shrimps, but larvaes, which can get sucked up easily
