hey guys.
1) after the losses due to the fish, my red cherry shrimp seemed to be doing fine. they even bred and there were babies. i put in about 20 red cherries and 20 ghost at about the same time. both of them were chased by the fish until they learned to hide in the wood and plants and stuff. some months later i still have at least 15 fully adult ghosts plus smaller ones (babies?), but no red cherry in sight.
i saw a picture of a ghost shrimp eating a red cherry on a forum post somewhere. could they have been the ones that eliminated my red cherries altogether?
2) based on the above, if i wanted to add more red cherries, should i completely remove all the ghost shrimp then? or can i overpower the ghost shrimp population with a certain amount of red cherries?
3) i'm interested in getting bamboo shrimp. can i get just 2? if so, can i get a male and a female? or would this cause too much (if any?) aggression? should i get 3 or a different number to avoid aggression?
4) is it ok to mix bamboo shrimp with ghost shrimp and/or red cherry shrimp?
thanks for the help
