how big are they?

Im getting some this weekend from craigslist along with more plants,Im worried my black ghost will eat them all,but the guy is just throwing them in as part of the deal.

The adults, like the one shown here, are about an inch long, not counting antennae. Since this one dumped a bunch of eggs which have hatched into new shrimp fry, I now have a bunch of 1/4"-3/8" shrimplets running around the tank. These share a tank with some wimpy cherry barbs who won't eat much of anything, so I don't have a guide to tell you whether these would be safe with your fish.

Convict- A BGK absolutely will prey on them.

He'll definitely appreciate them! Ghost shrimp are a really good and cheaper live feeder option.

they might bring out the natural instinct in him and he'll go wild after them.

got the rcs today

very small i think they are babies,it seemed like a waste to put in with fish so i put them with my convict fry to see if they grow
