Fresh water shrimps.

[Drill1234]

My LFS is currently selling fresh water shrimps. Having never seen these for sale before I was curious about how they would fare in a community setup.

Is there anything that I should know before I purchase them, i.e. do they need special food, would they be a threat to the fish that I have.

I have a couple of small angels, 6 zebra danio's, 2 3 spot gouramis, a beta, 2 bristle nosed plecs and a red finned shark.

Any help that anybody can give me would be much appreciated.

Oh these shrimp are between 2 and 3 inches long, if that helps.

I'm not sure but I think that your angels would eat them. they will be fine with the danios

As long as the other fish are small and not aggresive it will be OK to have shrimps. I have had Amano shrimp with Tetras, mollys, guppies, platies, dwarf gouramis, SAEs, CAEs & small angels without any problem.

Take a look at this Shrimps for more info on them.
