Re: small shirmps??
it doesn't matter what fish, if their mouth is bigger then the shrimp, they will eat it... only fish that is 99.9999999999999 percent shrimp safe is the otos... now on other hand, i haven't had too much problem with my cories eating the shrimp... -
'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'Comment

Re: small shirmps??

Re: small shirmps??
Cave tetras are very aggressive eaters. It wouldn't take them long to eat all of the shrimp; not just the baby ones. I'd go with oto cats.Comment

Re: small shirmps??
I have a lionhead goldfish with no eyes. Not sure how he lost them as there are no sharp or pointy objects in his tank. However, he gets along fine. He has no problems competing for food from the black saltys that share his tank and has a belly on him to prove it.Originally posted by fishlady";p="PLECOS SUCK!

Re: small shirmps??
LOL, that's what I'm sparing mine from. Not that I don't like fishing, but I do keep both black saltys and golden shiners, both which I got from Gander Mountan, in aquaria and provide them with tlc :!: :wink:Originally posted by mahoro";p="PLECOS SUCK!

Re: small shirmps??
I currently have a tank with serpae tetras, clown killies, an unknown pair of lampeye killies, and kuhli loaches in with tiger and cherry shrimps. Everyone seems to get along. I don't trust the serpaes too much, but they're going to move into another tank shortly.
Like mahoro said, not many fish can really be trusted, per se, to not eat the shrimp, but there are a few out there that have good records getting along with shrimp."Millennium hand and shrimp!"Comment

Re: small shirmps??
Tell me of the Serpae please, what do they look like and how is their demeanor?
Thanks

Re: small shirmps??
Here is a picture of a couple of the serpaes I have.
They're what I think of as "typical tetras." Mine tend to be a little jumpy, though. Their previous owner said they were a bit nippy, but I have not yet found that to be the case, luckily."Millennium hand and shrimp!"Comment

Re: small shirmps??
I had platys and mollis with my shrimp. When it was feeding time the shrim would sit beside the mollies/platys and wait for the food to fall. I finally started a shrimp specific tank. I took five baby sailfins and let the grow in with the shrimp and things were going great. The fish were staying small and life was peaceful. At the last meeting I was told that there was a good chance that when the female sailfins ( which had stayed small) gave birth they would probably die because of the "normal" size of the babies I scooped them out to let them grow in a larger tank. Anyway.... mollies, platys and tetras were safe for me...5.5 fw fluval chi - class N top bar snake chested endlers/ red marble bn/ 4 stripe RCS/ pumpkin shrimp

Re: small shirmps??
now, if you get into a heavly planted tank, get a good and huge colony of shrimp going, probly rcs, due to they are cheap, then you can add fish... otos, cory, pleco, guppies and cpd are very much shrimp safe. i've tried all those fish with either the glass shrimp, amano and the rcs they are all fine, as for the cpd, i heard from a fried, the mouth is so small, even the smallest of shrimp won't fit into their mouth, or you can always try dwarf crays, its getting along fine with my cory and my betta atm...Comment
