Dwarf Cichlids And Shrimps

[dave_m13]

Hi All

Just a quick question, how would dwarf cichlids get on with shrimps, such as Glass/amano, cherry, bumblebee etc just the smaller shrimps.

I have kept Rams with Amano shrimps with no problems but what about other Apistogramma's with the smaller shrimps?

Thanks
Dave

it depends on the charecter of your apisto....

he dosnt even get along with the snails that hichike on my plants

but thats a good thing

The cherries and bumblebees are just to small to be kept with almost all fish if you want the babies to survive. Even a cardinal tetra can kill an adult cherry shrimp. The amanos should be fine though.
