shrimplovers Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 small tetras, rasbora and herbivore fish but shrimp are best kept on their own as fish create nitrites and ammonia in which both shrimp are sensitive to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionel Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Almost every fish will eat shrimplets Better not keep shrimp with any fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gollys Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 We have kept bristlenose, fighter fish, platys with ours - and no problems at all. But in a 2 foot tank :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pet_City Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Depends on how fancy your shrimp are - expensive ones would probably deserve a tank on their own just to protect your investment. Endlers work nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFishFloating Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoy the mixture of breeding groups of cory (heck pick a pygmy species if you are a wuss lol) mystery snails longfin bristlenose cherrys and fancy fancy guppys given the right structure and plants they ALL breed in that combo with enough juvies making it to adulthood.
