Hi folks i regulary treat my Blue Velvet Shrimp Tank for Planaria with Zero Planaria , the other day i seen a really large one swimming in tank asi have Babies, Just wondering would u recommend putting a Small Baby Guppy in the tank To Eat him or others in there ?

Also i put 6 of these Medium sized Blue Velvet Shrimp in My Aquarium Tank With Guppy, Neon Tetra, Corydoras Cat Fish and Harlequin Fish, and Kuhli Loach, For the Life of me i cant see any of them today would they be in there hiding in Moss, ok i see 2, just wondering if that was a wise move with Kuhli loach, shrimp about 3/4 inch long ?

Dont get a guppy just so it can eat the baby shrimp... I dont see why you need them to be eaten

She wants the guppy to eat the planaria, not the shrimp!

Oops, brain dead me read it wrong... As other members here recommend, it isnt a good idea to introduce a species just to have it rid of something.... I noticed all your fish are soft water... guppies tend to be a more hard water species. Kidney failure occurs if kept in the wrong hardness... If you do notice that you can have guppies in your kind of water than get a group of females only so you get no offspring... They will breed, and a lot. Although if you do get all females some are already pregnant... Just something to take into consideration

What about the Kuhli Loach, do they eat blue shrimp about 3/4 inch ?

Let me ask this first... Do your shrimp keep breeding or is this just the first batch and youdont want them?

sorry ill explain, i had 10 blue shrimp and they started breeding , so the other day i took out 6 of the younger babies about 3/4 inch for a seperate tank which has kuhli loach in it , and neons , harlequins , bronze corydoras,

If you want you can set up a 10 gallon tank and keep a pea puffer... They will eat snails and shrimps... You can feed them 1-2 on each feeding and two times a day. Just cut back if he gets to big in the belly region lol. This is just an idea if you want to do it but you would have to have a steady supply of shrimps OR pest snails... So you could keep breeding shrimps as a good food supply for a pea puffer...

I could have sworn you were talking about how you wanted something to eat the shrimp... I knew about the planaria but I don't know much on that
