Shrimp And Guppies In The Same Tank.

[lukeavaient]

Hi Guys.

Really need your help on this one so any advice from people who have shrimp would be greatly appreciated.

I have kept cherry shrimp and amano shrimp in a tank on my desk for a few months now and they seem to be getting on fine. I have planted bogwood, moss balls, hiding places for them so they feel safe and they always seem to be scurrying around looking for food and generally appear happy. I don't feed them every day. I skip a couple of days a week not to upset the water quality.

I felt daring and bought some rili shrimp but when they arrived they were a lot smaller than I thought (they are still shrimplets).

I was planning on putting them in my other 2ft tank which only has guppies in. I have put my shrimp in a fry net in that tank with some moss balls for the mean time.

My question is will the guppies eat the shrimplet?

Cheers!

Probably. My female endlers, about the.same size.as guppies, had a field day in my shrimp tank. They should be fine with the other shrimp though, apart from cross breeding with the cherries
