Apistogramma Cacatuoides With Shrimp

[Gremily]

Hi, would there be any problems in keeping an Amano Shrimp with Cockatoo Cichlids?
Thanks.

My old pair were fine, but all fish are different.

Hi Gremily,

would there be any problems in keeping an Amano Shrimp with Cockatoo Cichlids?

If you want to breed the cacatuoides, that isn't the best idea. I've learned on the hard way, that shrimps are very effective egg-thieves. No problem with annual Killi-fishes, because the hull of their eggs is to hard to be harmed by shrimps but very reduced ammounts of Apistogramma juveniles. My consequence: Shrimps just with garlic-sauce but neverever again in my tanks.

Kind regards
Marc
