Flame Tetras And Ghost Shrimp?

[XeroTolerance]

Hello everybody. I have decided to stock my ten gallon tank with 5 flame tetras and 2 mystery snails. I also want to add one or two ghost shrimp too. Do you know if the Flame tetras will pick on them?

Thanks .

I have Flame tetras in with my dwarf shrimp and they leave them alone for the most part. When they do get close, the shrimp just scampers off. Ghost shrimp are much larger and will be totally fine with them.

Thanks for your quick reply. I just wanted to be sure that I don't come home with -1 Ghost Shrimp.

Depends on the type of Rasbora. Galaxy Rasbora are small and so adult shrimp will be fine but shrimp babies will be eaten by any fish with the exception of some types of pleco and otocinclus. Corydoras won't hunt them but if a baby shrimp happens to be in the wrong place then it's going to get "snuffled" up so to speak.
