[Robbo85]

i went to a new lfs the other day, it was just a shed in someones garden but it had lots of unusual fish ,snails and shrimp. I was wondering what kind of shrimp/inverts i could get(if any).

5 neon rainbow
6 cherry barb
4 zebra danio
2 blue rams
1 rtb shark

Anything that would suit?

Thanks, im still adding more plants, i don't know yet i have to check my ferts dont contain copper first, probably 2-3 fan shrimp depending on size and price and prob 5-10 cardinal or cherry. Though i forgot i have a bumble bee catfish. Forgot about him as he only comes out at night, had him for nearly 5 years though still forgot, think he might est anything small

He wouldn't eat a large fan shrimp, would he? He is getting on a bit now, i'll have to sit tight

Yellow cherry shrimp are nice if you can get hold of them. I can't find any at the minute though.
