Cherry shrimp tank mates

[El chapo]

Are tetras a bad tank mate for dcs

 

[Renzo77]

They should be fine. Loaches are what you should look out for from what i’ve heard and some carnivorous fish like killifish

What's a dcs?

What type of tetras?

What are the tank dimensions (length x width x height)?

What is the GH (general hardness) and pH of your water supply. This information can usually be obtained from your water supply company's website or by telephoning them. If they can't help you, take a glass full of tap water to the local pet shop and get them to test it for you. Write the results down (in numbers) when they do the tests. And ask them what the results are in (eg: ppm, dGH, or something else).

I assume the tank dimensions are in inches?

Serpae and black skirt (black widow) tetras are fin nippers and will go after small shrimp.
I assume fruit tetras are white versions of the black skirt tetra that have been dyed or coloured.

Head & Tail light tetras will also go after small shrimp.

Corydoras and plecos are normally fine with shrimp but they will eat dead shrimp so if you see them eating a dead shrimp, they probably didn't kill it.
