Any Dwarf Cichlids Ok With Cherry Shrimp?

[arobinson1984]

I'm currently fishless cycling a 25gal tank and plan to stock with:

10-12 forktail blue eyed rainbowfish
30-50 Cherry shrimp

Would like a pair/trio of dwarf cichlids for a centrepiece, ideally something with colour but they must be ok with cherry shrimp, are there any that would fine?

In my other tank I already have bolivan rams and apisto cacatuoide double red so them two are ruled out.

I like apistos but as far as I'm aware most, if not all of them will make snacks of the shrimp

Any suggestions would be greatly received

i think it might be risky Andy...

My bolivians tried it on with the cherrys when I first got them but soon gave up as they grew. And also when they realised they didn't stand a chance of catch them.

However I would say it's a risk for any cichlids you want to mix them with.

Yeah agree with above a few species it might work with but would depend on individuals and the rate that your cherry shrimp reproduce.

Apistogramma trifasciata are probably the best option as there pretty small
