Hello,
I have 2 danio's and 1 Sucking Loach and 1 Albino Paradise.
Could i add an amino shrimp with these fish?
i ideally want to add 1 so they dont breed.
Would the shrimp be okay with the loach>

Thanks x
 
what is a sucking loach. amano shrimp need bw to breed so no worries there.
Hello - What is bw?
I'm not sure i think it is an chinese algae eater when he starts to grow i am planning to donate him to the pet store or someone who can home in a larger tank than the one i have.
I've had him just over 2 months now so he hasnt really grown much. x
 
I responded to your other post about other fish to add. BW = brackish water. I asked about the paradise fish in your other post, is it a paradise gourami? If so, he will most likely pick at any shrimp you add to your tank. I'm not sure if he/she would go after an Amano shrimp or not being that they are larger than most FW inverts.
 
A sucking loach shouldn't be a chinese algae eater ... This is the common name for a hillstream loach, aka Borneo sucker. Google a pic to see if that is what you have.

hillies gets to be 2" or so max, so won't be a problem for shrimp.
