Ghost Shrimp

[This Old Spouse]

I should qualify by saying they're the only shrimp I've ever had, but I think they're entertaining as all get out! I'm watching a little cory feeding frenzy after I dropped some algae discs in the tank, and there are the ghost shrimp, dropping in right in the middle of things! Absolutely no fear. They love the algae and will clean up anything left over. Now if I could only get about 100 more! Anyone have any good tips on breeding them?

I have to agree with you they are hilarious. That's why I'm getting a couple for my 10 gallon tank .

I don't see why not! Near as I can tell the cories don't even see the shrimp.

Sound I really like my peppered corys.

What size do they get to?

What size do they get to?

Only one inch and they don't add any bio-load to the tank ( Well, very little. So little its undetectable).

Mine are actually bigger than an inch ...

 

[XeroTolerance]

Really? You must be feeding them really well . I'm excited to see how big mine get .

Ghost shrimp can grow to over 2 inches and cories don't bother them at all. The only time a cory would eat a shrimp is if they just happened upon a baby shrimp and it got snuffled up in the excitement.
