What Shrimp Wont Become Dinner?

[Rorie]

Are all shrimp the same size?

I like cherry, tiger and bumble bee shrimp, but will have bolivian rams in my tank. Are they big enough to avoid becoming dinner?

I have Japonica Shrimp and the rams dont touch them

Hi different shrimps do grow to different sizes the three you have mentioned should grow to about 3-4cm but ocasionly they do grow bigger. i recently baught two cherry shrimp and two bumble bee shrimps. I asked the fish shop why one of the cherrys were so big and he said it can depend on the quality off the tank they have growwn up in. I dont think you should worry about your fish eatting them. But when putting the shrimps in i would watch the fish at thirst to monitor there behaviour. Let me know how it goes... Alex hope the info helps

I found a good artical on here

It is good and gives the growth sizes of each shrimp....but i wonder if the smaller ones will become food....i guess it all depends on how big the mouths of my Rams are when they arrive haha
