java moss + fish

[o.jonathan.o]

By any chance, does anyone know of fish that would thrive and benefit from Java moss

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Some fish graze on java moss. Fry hide in it.

What do you mean by your question?

 

[o.jonathan.o]

I wanna put Java moss on a piece of drift wood in my tank and basically was wondering what the best fish for it would be. Its a 10 gallon tank

 

[Fishkeeper26]

IMO I don't think it matters, any fish should be ok with it.

 

[o.jonathan.o]

Okay thank you. Appreciate all help

Shrimp and fry benefit greatly from it, if that's what you're asking. Java moss (and other mosses... really plants in general) are a great addition to shrimp and fry tanks.

 

[o.jonathan.o]

Can you have bigger fish in a tank with shrimp

 

[o.jonathan.o]

Not too big something like a neon tetra

 

[mfdrookie516]

Yeah, definitely.

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Something like neons and RCS would look nice IMO

 

[o.jonathan.o]

The neons wouldn't eat the shrimp

 

[Fishkeeper26]

They aren't big enough to, and i don't think shrimp is in their diet

 

[o.jonathan.o]

And by any chance, about how many neonatal and shrimp can be in a 10 gallon tank

 

[o.jonathan.o]

Neonatal is neon. My crappy word correction on android phone

 

[hippy guy]

Like 7 or 8 neons, and 10 or more shrimp. Shrimp have almost no bioload. And if neons aren't your thing, kuhli loaches are cool with shrimp, and bettas are cool with both of them

 

[o.jonathan.o]

What about danios, will they work with shrimp

 

[hippy guy]

Maybe.. id say yea

 

[Fishkeeper26]

I wouldn't put danios in a ten since they're so active
