Shrimps With Fish?

[Lcoope]

Hey, I asked a question yesturday about what type of shrimps would be ok with my fish, I have 4 guppies, 7 neons and 4 neon rainbow dwarfs. Someone said about getting some cherry shrimp, does anyone know if they would be okay to go in as babies, and once they are fully grown will they eat my fish? I dont know much about the neon rainbow dwarfs, i believe that the others would be fine with a baby shrimp just not sure about the rainbows. Thankss

u should get them as adults, theyll hav their own babies.

So would it be best to get them older and just one sex so they dont have babies. I dont want no eating going on!!!

I have 2 large and 2 small amano shrimp. The are mostly ignored.
They hide in the plants.

Cherry shrimp wont eat any fish but they will be eaten by fish.

Amano shrimp are larger than cherry shrimp. Get your hands on some decent sized amano and I think they will be fine.

Adult Cherry Shrimp would probably be ok with your fish, the general rule is if the shrimp fits into the fishes mouth it will probably be eaten.

Young shrimp would be eaten by all the fish but with plenty of hiding places like Moss some should survive.
