Would This Be Ok?

[ALEXF]

Hello,

So I was in the pet store when i came across this interesting and exspensive little shrimp and i was wondering if i had enough space for one in my tank. The tank im talking about has 4 danios and 3 african dwarf frogs. I was told that shrimp are very docile and wouldnt mess with any of the others. So i wanted everyone elses thoughts. The tank is well established so i dont have to worry about that. So what do you think?


Thank You,
Alex

Shrimps cans be little hellions with some things like fin nipping, but in regards to bioload, they create little to none so they are usually not even considered in the stocking unless u go crazy and buy a few dozen of them. Then they will begin to affect bioload

I've never kept frogs, but I would think they would be ok. As long as the frog is of comparable size or bigger than the shrimps, you should be fine

thanks ox, i actually got it today before reading your alst reply.... oops.... the shrimp is a bit larger but always stays hidden. It doesnt seem to be messing with any of the other creatures. Now i have another question. do you think a few more danios or maybe a few guppies would be ok to add to the mix? I do regular 30% water changes every 2 weeks and have a 13 gallons worth of filtration... it is also heaily planted so they can all have places to hide and feel secure. Someone let me know. thank you.
