Meal or mates

Anyone housed Honey gourami's with cherry shrimp before.

Im aware shrimp fry may be picked off but was wondering if adult shrimp would be ok or seen as food?

I was recently asking about this as well...

After some research, no. It is not likely they will eat them. They are too slow methodic to catch fast cherry shrimp.

My first instinct would be to say they wouldnt be quick enough to catch and eat them

Well if they eat them then they will be well fed gourami

But no beautiful cherries! The one in my signature picture feels sad..
