[petalpoppy]

can i have shrimps in my community tank i thought i could but went to two different fs yesterday and both said no they will get eaten and wont be there after a week

i have in my 75g now
white clouds
pleco
guppies
raphael catfish
corys
platys
ram

any thoughts i was thinking cherry shrimp

bit of a risk with cherry shrimp tbh, the cherries are very small. the raphael catfish and the ram would be the possible culprits. i would think you'd be ok with the slightly larger amano shrimp though

How big is that tank on that table

and make sure you create lots of hiding places

My amanos do fine with getman blue rams. I wouldn't try cherries though, too small.

I have cherries with my blue ram and clownloachs and they are fine

Theres loads of hiding places though

Right, maybe if you were just setting up and the shrimp could breed into the hundreds(with LOADS of hiding places) that would have been a better option. At this point, you would do better with amanos.

put on some glasses and a fake beard then go into the shop and tell them you want shrimps for your shrimparium
