Khulis and Shrimps

[sif]

Do Khulies eat shrimp, specifically cherry or amano shrimps?

 

[Grey Legion]

It is possible for any loach of any size to eat shrimp....Cherries and Amano are very nice shrimp and would be a shame to lose..test with Ghost shrimp if possible.

or look for a snowflake shrimp they are pretty tough and will fight back.

I would seriously dought a kuhli though. A clown or other loach maybe, but a kuhli.....naaa.

Liked the sound of this until I found "The Pearl (snowflake) shrimp may just be the ticket for your aquariums with larger fish as these semi- aggressive shrimp have the ability to fight off some predators and also might eat your smaller fish"

I have cardinals...!!

I have Amano shrimp in my tank with Kuhlis, Yoyos and Clowns..and though I lost three shrimp to start with (almost as soon as I got them, though bodies were found so not eaten) I have three remaining, which are quite large now.

They are happy enough, and are bold enough to challenge any of the fish for food. One even chose a piece of slate in open water to shed his skin, creating interest and confusion among the loaches that resided beneath the slate, lol! If he wasn't vulnerable then, when else would he be?
