What Do You Think About Adding Ghost Shrimp

[afishdude]

can i add ghost shrimp to my betta fry? they are 2 weeks old. i need something to clean up the BBS and keep the bottom moving so nothing settles.


ignore the first 6 replys, as i didnt want to make a new thread.

i don't know about a cory but i just wanted to say that i have found a my snails do that, not sure if they should mind

i have some pest snails in there but they dont even tuch it, they graze on the horible algae i have on the glass.

If you can get the pygmy corys then they will do in fry tanks and they will munch up the detritis on the bottom of the tank.

If you have food building up on the bottom of the tank you should be cleaning it out, get a turkey baster to suck out the gunk, if you think you have collected one of the fry then squirt any stuff you suck up into a clear cup to check if you see a fry. I'd be lost without my turkey baster so great for fry tanks and quick rubbish collector.

Just in case you don't know what I am talking about -

what do you guys think about cherry shrimp? or ghost shrimp?

 

[afishdude]

don't know about cherry shrimp, but i would say no for ghost shrimp. I've had ghost shrimp attack and eat endler fry.
