Cherry Shrimp Tank w/ Rasboras? I have a ten gallon tank that is used to breed cherry shrimp. Currently it has only cherry shrimps, a young red ramshorn snail, and a mystery snail. Plus two teeny weeny brownish/clearish shelled snails. Anyways, my question is are there any fish that can safely be kept with BABY cherry shrimps? I have five micro rasboras (boraras maculatus) in a 20g that get a bit overshadowed by the guppies and betta. Could I keep these rasboras in the cherry tank? |
Yes, you can. |
And they won't try to eat the babies? |
the majority of fish will eat baby shrimp, hence the reason we buy shrimp from the pet stores. |

i was giving an example of what food we feed our fish = baby shrimp. |
Ooh I see. So does anyone know if Dwarf Rasboras (boraras macalatus) will eat baby Red Cherry Shrimp? |
Yes LOL ! we buy frozen baby shrimp from the stores to feed to our fish, fish will eat pretty much anything that will fit in its mouth. Meaning a baby shrimp will fit in its mouth. |
Are you sure? The rasboras are smaller than the adult shrimp. EDIT: Actually never mind, I don't want to risk it. I think the 10 gallon will stay shrimp and snails only :) Thanks for all your help stevenjohn21 and Lupin. |
The risk is quite minimal with a heavily planted setup and boraras together. |
