What can i keep with crystal shrimp?

[Totenkampf]

would the galaxy raspboras (celestichthys margaritatus) be small enough to live with skrimps? they max out at 1"

Ahh, bumping 3 month old threads back from the dead...
I think the galaxy rasbora will be okay with shrimp, however if you're serious about breeding then NO fish at all.

still relevant threads are still relevant, i have never understood the aversion to bumping a thread that already has good info in it. starting a new thread means the same questions will pop up again and i will be admonished for not searching the forum first lol. well they are breeding so thats a good point. i am looking for something to add in there to help clean up uneated food on the substrate a bit other than nerites.

My yellow shrimp breed very well in a tank with ruby tetras, boraras brigittae (chilis), and microneons. There's also a kuhli loach in there and he doesn't bother the shrimp or shrimplets at all. I have a nice thicket of Christmas moss in there and the babies hide and are virtually invisible til they're big enough to not be eaten. I don't have experience with CRS but I would imagine you could breed them if your tank had very small fish in there with them... small fish with small mouths!

Would you place gold fish with them?

I think Assassin snails would work good or tylos, that's what I have in my tank and they work great.

i do want some nerites but then the assassins would eat them wouldnt they? maybe i dont need nerites in a shrimp tank though and just having assassins and white pearl shrimp together will take care of algae on the plants and leftovers in the substrate? I am going to see tim tonight hopefully so i am trying to decide before then. i really like the orange rabbits but i am being told tylos may eat plants?

I have nerites together with assassins in my tropheus tank, never seen any attacks happen myself.
