Cherry Shrimp

[Cossie1111]

I have a 60L tank with harlequins and corys, silk plants and driftwood.
Would I be able to put some cherry shrimps in?

If so, how many?

And what do they eat?

Thanks in advance.

Cory's wont bother shrimp and I think harlequins are ok with them as well. As long as you have plenty of bushy plant life the shrimp should thrive. Since cherry shrimp are excelent breeders I would only get ten (preferably more females than males by about 2-1) and then sit back and watch the numbers multiply. Just watch out for your filter as shrimp are great for finding their way into filters either as adults or the shrimplets.

Yep. Provide them with plenty of cover and moss they should be very happy. Not 100%, but just watch out for any munching from other fish. All depends on how hungry they are and their temperament.

I have a 60L tank and I've been wondering the exact same thing!
