Algea Eat W/ Shrimps?

[madjoker14]

Hello everyone, I have a 10g tank, and I have a couple of fishes, apple snails and 1 chines algea eater,

Well my friend is going to give me a 2.5gallon tank to breed red cherry shrimps, I was wondering if I could put together shrimps with my chines algea eater and snails?? Will there b any problems??

Also on a side question, since I'm planing on keeping a breeding tank, could I move the adults/young adultung adults to my current 10g tank? And incase they do lay eggs I can move them to the 2g tank would that be okay??

Thanks in advance for any info provided

They'd be find with the snail and most smallish community fish, but I think the CAE will eventually pose a problem. They do grow quite large (6+ inches, too big for a 10 gallon, really), and eventually do turn to a more meaty diet.

Give the CAE back to the LPS.
