Title: cherry red shrimp question
Post by: RichE on September 20, 2013, 07:09:43 PM

I have been reading about these and I am going to be getting some tomorrow, can I use them in grow out tanks so they will eat the un-eaten food?

I read not to put in with puffers and loaches, but small fish should be ok?

I had my 10 gal with cherry shrimp in with guppies and they were fine but If it can fit in the mouth of a fish, consider it a snack for the fish. That includes most, if not all, types of fish.
