Simple question.....

Can these be safely kept together? No idea what shrimp cos they aitn mine, but they have been rehoused temporarily as ownr doesnt wnat them to become "munchies"
 
I've seen other types of loaches eat shrimp... I'm pretty sure clown loaches would too.
 
My two clown loaches totally ignored the three amano shrimp. Mind you the clowns I had weren't that big (around three inches) and they were pretty lazy, probably too well-fed to go after the shrimps. Now have yo-yo loaches and definately wouldn't chance amano shrimps with them!
 
ours co exist peacefully ;)

we have 9 clowns ranging from 2 - 5" and 8 or so amano shrimp.

we'll be adding a LOT more shrimp soon as they are great little clean up guys :)
 
as above 4 clowns (4"-5") and 4 amano shrimp (1") never been a problem infact i've seen a shrimp jump onto one of the clowns
