Shrimp For My Tank

[Bettafanatic]

I am thinking of some more invertebrates to keep in my ten gallon FOWLR. I would like to get a couple more shrimp. Inside, I already have a firefish, two scarlet skunk shrimp, two turbo snails, and a hermit crab. I'm also going to add a clown goby sometime next month.

I was thinking of adding a couple of peppermint shrimp, as this was my original plan. What shrimp would you recommend? I just want something easy to care for that I can feed the same food as my fish and skunk shrimp. Thanks!

What do you feed currently?

 

[Bettafanatic]

New life spectrum pellets for everyone, and frozen brine and mysis shrimp for the fish.

 

[armyman16]

Maybe a bumblebee shrimp? I also like fire shrimp!

 

[Bettafanatic]

Yeah I like fire shrimp too. Those guys are cool. Do you think they'll do well?

 

[armyman16]

I don't see why not! They just don't get along with each other

 

[Bettafanatic]

Okay so I'll only get one then. And they won't hurt any of my other animals, right?

It will help, taking parasites off, it does almost everything a cleaner shrimp does another common name for the fire shrimp is scarlet cleaner shrimp! I'll probably get one of these in my 75 soon!
