I was hoping to acheive a balance of prey and predator.

I find that to be extremely difficult to achieve in an aquarium without constant intervention. Perhaps you will succeed where I have failed.

I have a spare tank, so I can move the shrimp if it comes to that.
In an aquarium this is next to impossible. In nature, the prey can run from the predator, and if lucky (as most are or the species would be long gone) escape. This is not possible in any home aquarium. Some may manage to find shelter depending upon the aquascape, but predators are not so dumb that they cannot quickly figure this out.

Nope. Couldn't figure it out.

8 Cherry shrimp arrived today. 3 days ahead of schedule.
If there's problems when I add the gouramis, then these can be moved.

Hi, I just joined because I am thinking about getting a tank after many years. I had one when I was a teen.
I saw your mystery bug, and I love a good mystery. The closest thing to your bug that I could locate is a Caddisfly larva. They live in a protective case.
I have been following your thread. Your tank looks great.

That really looks a lot like it!

Thanks for the information!
I never saw it again after that day. Not sure where it went. I was looking forward to watching it develop.
