Guppy
Honey Gourami

Tank out the Honey Gourami and replace it with Angelfish

Keep in mind. Most Cherry shrimp are only 1/2" long when purchased and only get an inch, full grown. Could be some rather expensive fish food.

Red Cherries are great shrimp. They feed on a variety of algae. Sadly, you rarely see them. Mine hide in the plants, feeding on algae. Cherries kinda walk very slowly. If you want some shrimp that swim a lot, like ghost shrimp. Get the Rudolf red nosed. They eat a variety of algies as well and are more active/enjoyable to watch.

I think the angels or possibly the gouramis are going to eat the shrimp. Might try some cheap ghost shrimp first. If they do well, purchase the expensive Cherries or Rudolfs. 3-5$ a piece is preaty expensive for tiny shrimp. Ghost shrimp usually run .25$ each.

Just a thought
