Shrimp And Yo-yo Loach

[randymyr]

I've been looking at buying some freshwater shrimp for my aquarium, but i've been madly obsessed with the new stock of yoyo loach currently at my LFS
now i was wondering, would these guys have a problem together ?

botia lohachata gets to around 6inches and would most likely have a nice shrimp sundae if they were kept together,

lmao, i thought so
maybe i'll set up the 10 gallon and get some shrimp in there instead
thanks though, i just didn't want to set up a new aquarium, and have all of my shrimp eaten!

how do you think they'd do with pearl gourami? (depending on the shrimp)

khuli loaches are fine with shrimps if you wanted some of them
most shrimp will get munched by most fish unless you have plenty of cover for them especially when they have shedded cos they are like jelly then and need somewhere to hide
i keep shrimp in all my tanks and have lots of babies - see my siggy for stocking with the shrimps
i have plents of bogwood , moss and other plants in my ranks
