Will My Bolivian Ram Eat Aquarium Shrimp?

[RobGoldsmith]

I have seen some small shrimp in my LFS, I would put them at 3/4CM long each. I dont know their type etc. The woman said they are fine for community tanks.

Do you think my rams will eat them?
Any other info about them in a community tank?
Sorry dont know the type, they were clear though, no colour.

YEs, they will try. Most Dwarf Cichlids will try to eat shrimps

They won't go for a 2" shrimp, my amano isn't hassled by my apistos or rams. HOWEVER, hey will chomp away at river shrimp and cherry shrimp.
