Hi all...

I am currently housing 5 black skirt tetras in a 15 gallon tank. Have had them for months and they have grown to about an inch plus since i got them when they were younger.... They are probably the hardiest tetras I've tried keeping and they have survived 2 rounds of unknown causing disease that wiped out my neons. The school of 5 are pretty happy swimming around and leaping in the water for food during feeding time. They are not aggressive when I had my neons in the same tank and they prefer to mind their own business...

I don't intend to add in any more neons or cardinals as they keep dying on me for some reason I can't seem to solve (water dimension and everything else was fine).

Just 2 weeks ago, i got 3 yamato shrimps (aka amano shrimps) and introduced them into my other 15 gallon guppy tank. I LOVE LOVE THEM for their 'cleaning up' skills. hahahaha
Am wondering if these shrimps are suitable tank mates for my black skirts?
Also, is it wise to add in 2 smaller black skirt tetras into the current 5?

Many thanks in advanced. =)
